Ask yourself: would you treat a PR differently if it came from a regular, trusted contributor, or some random person (or bot)?

- netheril96 4y agoI would if the content of the PR were complicated. Not in this case.
- bostonsre 4y agoSure you would probably treat it differently but isn't it being elitist and harmful to the open source community in general to outright shoot down or discourage any PR from a lesser known or unknown source if it is a good PR? I think we should encourage novices to contribute and we shouldn't be hostile to them so that they can get past the novice phase and become trusted contributors. If a bot produces valid helpful and well formed PRs, why would you discriminate against them completely when they improve your codebase?
