i started to bc one of the very first winners of a giveaway of mine was a new member of steamgifts and wouldnt accept his gift at first, oddly (though he told me he did). then he didnt leave feedback, still hasnt. the idea (for me) is that those who contribute already know the ropes and are less likely to be a problem.

You're looking at this all wrong. I suspect most giveaways of this type ($0.01 CV) are to reward people who have given stuff away themselves.
While having a large CV figure may be out of most people's reach, and/or at odds with their life priorities, if you can afford a computer and enough Steam games to qualify for Steamgifts, through the magic of trading card sales alone, everyone should be able to give away something.

To the OP, because that means you at least gave SOMETHING back to the community so 100% total leeches don't get it.
And $0.01 isn't hard to get, just look at mine, and I personally spent zero in actual cash getting that. I actually got that using the tremor website and spent coins on it I got from there.
I personally go with the route of every time I win one, I post one.
Getting that isn't as hard as you think, even if you don't or can't spend real world cash, that is no excuse to be a pure mooch. If that is all you want to be, move on and find somewhere else to drag down.

I made all my public giveaways with 0.01 CV. The main reason is simple: I want to give my copy to somebody, who contributed to the community, even he/she did a very little for the site. I don't want to punish the 0.00 CV. I want to reward anyone who was kind enough to give away a game. Or DLC. Or anything, literally.

You are aware that by doing so you don't give points to people, yes?

Ummm... you mean the points that everyone except the giveaway creator get when said creator makes a giveaway? Pretty sure what kind of giveaway was made is irrelevant in that case.
Or are you talking about something else which I didn't know about?

It's in the FAQ, under "How can I increase my odds of winning or acquire more points faster". Now, it might be left from earlier, and not be true anymore. But as of right now, the FAQ still says it.

Just for annoying the guys who don't make giveaways? // Pretty much this, yeah.

Other possible reasons:
One explanation is that to be allowed to set contributor value you must have already done a giveaway and sent the game, so you're demonstrating that you know how the site works.
And there are plugins and apps that allow to ONLY see giveaways with contributor value.

It is to reward those who contribute - no matter how small. You may not have a lot of money but can still support give-ways in some small way.
This counts. this makes you a contributor. it also makes the games have value.
if all the games were "free" to join then I think that people would be more callous and more demanding.

Why do you even care for the reasons? This might just be to avoid, that the winner doesn't know how the site works.

People shouldn't ever be proud if taking advantage of the community without making any contribution.
0.1 cent shouldn't be that much, right?

Why would some people make 0.01CV ?? Just for annoying the guys who don't make giveaways?
