    It is my understanding that pull requests say “Hey, I forked and modified your project. Look at it and consider adopting my changes in your project.” So anyone who wants to look at the “experimental stuff” can just pull that fork. Someone in charge of the main branch decides if and when to merge pull requests.

    The problem becomes the volume of requests; they’re kinda getting DDOS’d.

      Yup! Replace the word “fork” with “branch” and that basically matches the workflow. Forking implies you are copying the code in its current state and going off to do your own thing, never to return (but maybe grabbing updates from time to time).

      One would hope that the users submitting these PRs vetted to LLM’s output before submitting, but instead all of that work is getting shifted onto the maintainers.
