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.
Sending the e-mail to them is not as quick and easy for everyone as probably changing the topic on the repository to have
nohacktoberfestthere. 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.
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…?
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.
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.
😇
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. 🎉
Why my review time has increased to 15 days?
It says- In Review
Your PR has been accepted by a maintainer and is currently within the review period, which lasts for fourteen days.
Will I get my T-Shirt?
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?
Hi there! I'm sharing an excerpt from DigitalOcean's recent statement that should answer your question!
