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.
