@shel As for a more on-point comment, I always think of what Hintjens commented on this topic.  It is more important to onboard contributors, find the problems with their contributions as colloborative process than a combatative one, and you make a much healthier community by being permissive and inclusion with MRs and PRs than you than by trying to gatekeep them.  We all have the same goal when we work collectively on a software project: making the software better.  The tribalism, the "I know best" and the treading on your contributors to ego-trip, all sabotage that goal.
