Welcome Nicolai. Actually small contributions is what most open source projects are made of since the majority of people don't have the luxury of free time or the motivation to contribute big chunks of code. But as It has been said it makes a huge difference because when you count in the amount of small contribution they make a rather big chunk of code. Plus if I ever encounter a bug fix or enhancement that makes my life easier there is no way I will be complaining about its size if you know what I mean ;D
We have a saying here at Greece "water drops can crack even the hardest rock" which dates back to ancient Greece.
