    If the project has a community forum or chat, be active and help answer questions. That takes a lot of pressure off the dev team. I did that for 4-5 years on the Handbrake project before family commitments ate up my free time.

      I myself am a maintainer/main developer of a project and the people that help out in the group chat are a god sent. Takes a lot of pressure out of my day.
