i think i’ve decided that for personal projects it’s probably not worth doing code review cycles with contributors. if a pull request is doing something worthwhile you can apply the changes you want on top of that and merge it with your changes.
big thorny 150,000-line 40-contributor work repos are another story for several reasons but my 2,000-line weekend project is not meant to be a shining beacon of software engineering acumen
i think this comes from regularly being the open source contributor who gets asked to make changes before they can be merged. i didn’t really care whether it felt like the maintainer was wasting my time but it just felt like the maintainer was wasting their time trying to get a beautiful sandwich out of someone without a deli slicer
if you know exactly how you want it to look, make it happen
