Casual contributors are, generally speaking, those who have made one contribution or less (such as an unmerged pull request) to the project. However, it’s easier to identify them by their low affinity to the project. A casual contributor may have made multiple contributions, but this type of contributor’s defining characteristic is that they don’t feel a deeper connection to the contributor community, beyond a desire to see their own contributions merged. Viewed through the lens of membership, they are better understood as users than contributors.
