Description

This is mainly concerns members and frequent contributors but can we agree on not to open PRs just for the sake of it?

PRs should be run-tested on at least one platform before being submitted unless maintainer of a package has clearly stated otherwise. Also, commit message should contain all changes being made.
If a change isn't specific to OpenWrt please try to upstream it first.

Given our limited resources I don't think we need more administrative work than needed.

Also while I'm at it, how should we handle new package submissions?
We have quite a few queued, could this be a good idea?

Research direction

Start by reading CONTRIBUTING.md and the linked pull-request discussion at openwrt/packages#8509. The issue combines proposed pull-request policies with a question about queued package submissions, and it does not define a specific documentation change or acceptance criteria; completion would require maintainers to agree on scope first.
