Feral is a game porting company that has ported many AAA games to Linux.
In a happy move that makes me want to dev a bit for Mesa we have the following announcement:
Thank you to the Mesa community for helping improve support for Mesa drivers!
To spur you on, we're giving dedicated contributors a special Steam Key granting free access to our entire Linux repertoire. That's a lot of test cases...
If you have made at least 25 commits to Mesa in the past five years, email mesa@feralinteractive.com with 'Steam' in the subject, and tell us your usernames for freedesktop and Steam.
See you in the repository.
Wait, twenty-five commits? I've done that in a single day working on rehash. Get your key before they change it to pull requests.

These would have to be *accepted* commits, in the mainline repo. Anyone can make hundreds of commits locally, or even hundreds of pull requests (although that would probably be considered spam/flood on the mailinglist).
I'd say this is a nice gesture from Feral. Mesa has seen some incredible progress in past few years, both in terms of features (OpenGL compatibility) and performance, and that has certainly made life easier (and bank account fatter, due to more games working) for Feral.
