Description
Hi maintainers 👋,
First of all, thank you for all the work on this project — it’s really impressive and very useful.
While browsing the repository, I noticed something I wanted to better understand regarding the current contribution workflow.
I see that there are quite a number of open pull requests that appear to be unreviewed or unmerged for a long time. At the same time, there are also some recently merged pull requests. However, it seems that the merged ones are primarily from Meta internal contributors .
This made me unsure about the current contribution policy for external/community contributors.
My questions are:
- Is the project currently still accepting pull requests from the open-source community?
- If yes, are there any specific criteria or review process differences for external contributors?
- Are there plans to review or process the existing backlog of community PRs?
I’m asking mainly to understand how I should contribute effectively going forward, and whether I should continue investing time in existing or new pull requests.
Thanks a lot for your time and clarification 🙏
