It is very common. MongoDB promoted itself as OS, but does not even look at pull requests. Bloomberg's "BDE" project, likewise until recently. Ordered by upper mgmt to respond to PRs, they had a meeting where the topic was where to find time to write rejections. (They need not have bothered; no one would use BDE where not required.)

> MongoDB promoted itself as OS, but does not even look at pull requests. I wouldn't fault MongoDB for that. Open Source doesn't mean open collaboration. Situations like this could be avoided if GitHub provided an option to disable PR's.

    I'd like that for some cases. Why should the socialising happen in my repo, couldn't it happen in the repo of other people who are developing on top of my work? (ie the forks)
