A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Having devs outside of the project submit fixes for minor issues that don't require intimate knowledge of the project itself is spending dev effort better than having the project devs themselves have to do it.
Having people really outside of the project to commit to the repo is a bad idea to begin with. If you don't plan to contribute by code then just don't contribute at all.
They aren't commiting to the project, they're submitting pull requests. Totally different.
Ya. I mean their commits shouldn't be merged to the repo. They can of course commit whatever they want to their own fork.
