Sending the e-mail to them is not as quick and easy for everyone as probably changing the topic on the repository to have nohacktoberfest there. Small action for maintainers, and programmatic check for them.
Looks like the updated communication on DO has exactly stated using the topics on the repository for this purpose. Glad to see it.
A little bit confused on the 1 NOV deadline for maintainers to approve contributions that may have been made only one minute before the deadline though. They used to give us 7 days to filter. Now it has been reduced on the backend…?
To maintain quality, not just the contributors but also the maintainers should come forward too.
A maintainer is mostly well aware of his/her project. As a participant, I expect maintainers to elaborate their issues in details with some workflow of the corresponding activity and the unexpected behaviour happening around.
Not just like opening an issue and saying "Hey guys, fix this problem" with no further details. Afterall, Contributors are human not the genie of Alaadin.
One of the most salient features of our Tech Hiring culture is that there is so much bullshit. Everyone knows this. Each of us contributes his share. But we tend to take the situation for granted.
Why my review time has increased to 15 days?

Hi there! I'm sharing an excerpt from DigitalOcean's recent statement that should answer your question!
"We will honor all valid pull requests prior to this change, and as of October 3, 2020 at 12:00:00 UTC – and October 3 in all time zones – pull requests will only count toward earning a T-shirt or planting a tree if they are submitted in a repository classified with the ‘hacktoberfest’ topic. The pull requests will also need to be merged, approved by a maintainer, or labeled as ‘hacktoberfest-accepted’ in order to qualify. The deadline for completions, merging, labeling, and approving is November 1."

Excluded Repository List and Extended Verification period ❤️❤️
I hope the spamming will now be reduced to a great extent. Very well done Dev and DO Team.

there. Small action for maintainers, and programmatic check for them.Yeah. I completely agree with that. In fact, an opt-out checkbox like that of Arctic Code Vault can simplify this thing and can save time.

Yes, I'm happy to see DEV and the DO team are working together to help reduce spam. I know it's causing a lot of stress for project maintainers.

Yeah will go for plant this year :))
That's amazing! In the very first hours of October, we received already some valuable contributions for the Labs64 OpenSource repositories at GitHub.

FYI the way I handle that I create issues that don't need a lot of context, label them with "good first issue" using an issue template which starts by asking people to read the CONTRIBUTING guide
Worked really well so far, I'm happy to report that in a couple of days, I got 7 meaningfull pull requests and 0 spam.
That sounds cool, Fayard. 🎉

P.S.- Beginner doubts
Yes we're participating. Thanks
I made some pull requests before October 3 (that is, before this update) which were merged. Will they count towards completing Hacktoberfest?
