In my experience this has the opposite effect, it discourages newcomers from contributing. You want to help contributors out so that they become committers over time. But as they say you milage may vary. You want a low bar for new people to be able to become contributors and to become committers. > It's better to limit this direct modification in some special case, > for example the owner don't response PR for a long time. If they don’t respond it mean you have driven them away, and that teh best time to ask yourself what could you have done differently to keep them involved? Thanks, Justin
