Just a piece of anecdata in regards to this, last year in my first Hacktoberfest I made a PR for an open issue on a project that got no response from the maintainer until a week later, where he said something along the lines of "Oh sorry, I missed this one, I'll get to it soon", and then he just never reviewed it or anything else on the project ever again.
That's a perfectly normal Github experience, so it wouldn't invalidate the metric.
Do more than the bare minimum for your tee then. Hedge your bets.
