sbp opened a new issue, #499: URL: https://github.com/apache/tooling-trusted-releases/issues/499
We have been receiving PRs where the quality of the contribution is difficult to evaluate without a significant level of engagement. Thread messages and commits seem to be language model assisted, so things can seem promising at first and then turn out to be a waste of resources for all involved. It is also difficult to understand the motivations of contributors: are they well intentioned but inexperienced, being told to make contributions for course credit, agentic experiments, or something else? We thought that asking contributors to introduce themselves on the mailing list would be sufficient to deter such contributions, but this has not been working. To avoid low quality contributions, we have considered the following further ideas: * Remove `good first issue` and `help wanted` issue labels * Require contributors to be ASF committers * Require an output trace from lints or tests in the PR thread The latter is the most promising. Something like "please paste the last ten lines of the output from the e2e tests" would be reasonable because all PRs must be tested before submission. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
