GitHub PM here working on how we can make this problem feel better for maintainers. Really appreciate how tiring this can be, especially when even low volume is sustained for many months.
Would love your thoughts on some of the things we're thinking about:
- Would it help to disable all PRs? All non-contributor PRs?
- Would a "close as admin" button help address the issue of not wanting to be rude or discouraging?
- What about Copilot doing an initial review and proposing to close anything that doesn't meet contribution guidelines - would that help a "close this" decision feel less personal?
