So I'll probably be cross posting on Twitter or something but here goes...
How do you reward people that take the time to contribute?
I recently had someone fix a bug in httpref. No prompting, just a PR out of the blue that nailed the problem. I was shocked, and surprised, and so so glad that someone had taken the time.
Apart from a cursory 'thanks' when I hit merge and an impromptu shout out on Twitter I couldn't really do anything.
Is this something that anyone has been able to do? Just show someone how much you appreciate what they've done?

I think the level of the "thanks" can vary greatly. Maybe point out something about the code, showing that you actually noticed their work.
Maybe add a 'hall of fame' on your Readme use it to recognize the most important prs/users. I personally just thought that out of nowhere, but now I am adding that to my readme 😊
