Yeah, even more people dropping random patches, going away and not responding to questions. I would prefer people doing 1 pull request and taking care of it (test, docs) than getting 24 useless pull request. I had some pretty toxic behaviour last year because of this. Though I appreciate the idea I think it give a pretty bad idea to people of what Open Source are.
I've just spend 4 hours on chat the last 2 days explaining a new comer how to use git/github and make a pull request; it was a pleasure. Though it is less and less the case when people just drop by and go away.
I know I'm getting old and grumpy, but I feel the day I'll say the F word is getting closer.
Please Someone open minus24pullrequest.com and ask people to help test and review code instead of just submitting extra work for maintainer.
- amirmc 12y agoSounds like you've had some bad experiences here. Is your contribution process documented anywhere? IME well-meaning folks will generally try to conform to existing procedures if it's easy to find out what they are. The more time consuming PRs involve people new to Git/GitHub (and things like rebasing) but even then, I've only seen civil interactions.
