Is this a bit too spammy? (It's great having you contribute to this project)

Opening a new issue as a seasoned EddieHub contributor/mod/whatever... it seems quite counterproductive to always respond with a thanks - especially as I imagine this creates more notifications but I could be totally wrong here!

Maybe it can fire off once for a new member who has contributed to an issue or even created their first issue then never fire off again?

This actually wouldn't be too difficult to implement within the action.

This is a good idea. Here is an example https://github.com/JJ/issue-greeting-action/blob/master/src/main.ts#L56

async function isFirstIssue(
  client: github.GitHub,
  owner: string,
  repo: string,
  sender: string,
  curIssueNumber: number
): Promise<boolean> {
  const {status, data: issues} = await client.issues.listForRepo({
    owner: owner,
    repo: repo,
    creator: sender,
    state: 'all'
  });

  if (status !== 200) {
    throw new Error(`Received unexpected API status code ${status}`);
  }

  if (issues.length === 0) {
    return true;
  }

  for (const issue of issues) {
    if (issue.number < curIssueNumber && !issue.pull_request) {
      return false;
    }
  }

  return true;
}

Would be great if it was first time or you could exclude usernames like dependabot f.ex.

We are using another Action to do the greeting now, so hopefully it is better

Yup! I don't want to receive notifications for issues I create myself
