Oh, well, that would explain the sudden influx of low value/quality PRs including people pinging me directly by email.. huge -1 from me, please can we opt out of this?We are opted-out right now so none of the PRs are eligible for hacktoberfest currently, and we're not showing up under hacktoberfest.
Almost certainly me being over-sensitive then, my apologies.
I guess I've been hit my a lot of "codeowner email deluge" recently from people PRing in such a way that just about every single maintainer gets dragged into the PR until someone closes it or correctly rebases it. I wish we could prevent that, but I suspect it falls into the "deeply non-trivial" bucket.
Don't get me wrong though: I think Hacktoberfest is a terrible idea in that focusses on short-term fly-by contributing rather than fostering the long term commitments that all open source projects desperately need.
cheers,
