There is this open-source contribution incentive thing called
"Hacktoberfest" --
https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com
If we merely add the "hacktoberfest" label to our GitHub repo here:
https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr/blob/master/.asf.yaml
then we may see some additional PR based contributions to Lucene/Solr.
If a PR contributor mentions Hacktoberfest, we also then add the
"hacktoberfest-accepted" label to the PR itself.  Example:
https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr/pull/1970  That PR is what exposed me
to this program.

Can I get another PMC's +1 to the idea and I'll just edit our labels?

"Risks" are perhaps more PRs/contributions than we are used to, some may be
typo in nature, and probably without JIRA issues.  Granted, trivial ones
don't need JIRA issues anyway.
