GitHub Limits Open Pull Requests for Non-Writers
GitHub has introduced a new feature allowing repository maintainers to set a cap on the number of open pull requests from users without write access. This change aims to streamline the management of contributions by reducing the clutter of low-quality or drive-by pull requests. Maintainers can also designate trusted contributors who can exceed this limit without needing full collaborator access. This update is designed to help maintainers focus on meaningful contributions and reduce unnecessary review and CI overhead.
