FWIW, No, this is *not* just an problem for OpenStack https://youtu.be/wf-BqAjZb8M?t=531
^ Raymond Hettinger Ultimately the problem is mis-aligned goals between the individual and the project maintainers. They want to "do stuff" and get a change landed; we want to maximize the positive results for the project with our limited available time. But I caution you not to allow yourself to conflate their effort (while borderline unhelpful to project/maintainers) as "bad" - they don't owe us anything. As long as blasting out a bunch of bugs and non-material changes get them a few "commits in OpenStack" there is probably actual honest to goodness reasons for that behavior to continue. Go ahead and try to evaluate each change as best you can on it's own merits. Be friendly and helpful. If you -2 provide *context*. Point them at canned materials you have for new contributors! But, don't get your hopes up that any of these folks are going to "come around". -Clay On Thu, Sep 22, 2016 at 1:05 PM, Sean M.
