# Monthly Contributor Spotlight Template

> 中文说明：这份模板用于每月公开感谢贡献者，并把贡献者成长路径、公开分发和 1000-star 目标连接起来。

Use this template for a monthly GitHub Release note, roadmap issue update, README update, or social post. Keep it specific, cite visible work, and avoid promising sponsor placement, token rewards, financial upside, or preferential review.

## Cadence

- Draft once per month, ideally in the first week after the month closes.
- Pull evidence from merged PRs, closed issues, public posts, releases, and the daily operations reports.
- Mention contributors only when their work is public and relevant to the project.
- Ask for consent before highlighting personal details beyond GitHub username, public profile, PRs, or public posts.

## Selection Criteria

Highlight up to five people or groups per month:

- First-time contributors with a merged PR.
- Repeat contributors who shipped multiple useful improvements.
- Reviewers who gave practical feedback or reproduced issues.
- Community allies who submitted the project to a list, wrote a useful post, or brought credible sponsor/grant leads.
- Module stewards who kept one topic accurate, sourced, or beginner-friendly.
