I think the hacktober is a good initiative. Just be aware that we need to respond to these PRs ASAP, otherwise it might work against us. We already have a huge amount of PRs that still need to be reviewed, so it is not like we don't have enough PRs.
I think we need at least 5 committers that explicitly say the will pick up these PR with the highest priority for 1 month. Otherwise I'd say no.

TL;DR: to prevent "spam pull requests", only accepted/merged/approved pull requests against GitHub repositories labelled "hacktoberfest" qualify for the free t-shirt or planting a tree. This is other than previous years, where _every_ pull request would qualify, even if the repository owner did not explicitly participate in Hacktoberfest. I would argue it makes sense to opt-in Maven repositories for Hacktoberfest. If it could encourage people to start contributing to Maven, I think that would be useful. It might also bring Maven to the attention of people who are looking for (Java) projects to contribute to. Any thoughts?
