First PR to an open source project, you’re proving you can read. That you studied the codebase, matched the style, understood why things are the way they are before suggesting they should be different. Most people skip this. Most PRs show it.

The second and third, you’re proving you’ll stay. Maintainers have seen hundreds of drive-by contributions. One PR, gone forever. The ones who come back are rare enough to notice.
