Idea: Let's create a Thank you day for all creators and maintainers by opening one issue for whatever we use. Let's star them and like them.

Or is it a bad idea for some reason?

I have to disagree. However well intended, It sets up an unnecessary expectation, similar to your birthday.

If you’ve ever gone through a birthday where nobody wished you, I don’t think you would want a maintainer to ever feel that.

I was thinking the same thing actually!
