How to discourage open source contributions

Read Original

This article explores the systemic problem in open source where maintainers, often due to limited time, fail to review pull requests promptly. This creates a 'tax' on new contributors, discouraging participation. The author argues that project maintainers must 'own the process' for incoming contributions to foster a healthier ecosystem and break down barriers to entry.
