Description

Description

Some comments I've gathered from the community survey on the challenges/suggestions section:

The most confusing part for me was figuring out WHO should be reviewing requests? Or if there was a process for requesting a review. Otherwise, I found documentation to be very helpful. My biggest complaint, last time I was working in these repos the documentation was still in PRs and a WIP, but it contained a lot of useful and important info. Hopefully those PRs made their way into being merged at this point to help discoverability.

The events and filter definitions are in a separate repo and that always creates some friction with PRs since you have a multi-step process of merging and bumping versions based on another pr.

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.

  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Review the existing contribution and review guidance, including the survey feedback linked in the issue. Clarify who reviews requests, how review is requested, and how the separate events and filter definitions repository affects the PR and version-bump process; done means these expectations are documented and discoverable.
