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.
Sounds 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.
