Nothing especially. I register authors in AUTHORS files from digiKam,
and i post image to splash-screen contribution page :

I recommend to post this request to social network. G+ is the most
appropriate for that as it's a Geek SN where we have a plenty of
users, contributors.

I can also fork the post to my circle where more than 5000 people follow me.

Best
