I can't think of anything; "Wer am lautesten schreit hat recht" and
"Fragen kostet nichts" come close. I find that attitude close to
whining, and I assert that it doesn't help in Python. Indeed, I
get personally *discouraged* to help when I notice it, because I
want to decide myself what I work on, instead of having others
who never contribute themselves make priorities for me.
