Replying to myself, adding the CONTRIBUTING.md file has apparently had the intended effect for at least the gedit, gtksourceview and latexila modules. For gtksourceview, I see that one contributor has opened a pull request recently, but closed it by himself and opened a bug in bugzilla. Also, in every module it is normally explained how to contribute and submit patches, either in the README or HACKING file. The HACKING file contains other important information for contributing. So, if someone creates a pull request on GitHub, it means that the contributor didn't read the README or HACKING, so the patch has probably a poor quality… Do we really need to care about all those random patches by contributors who don't do their homework? -- Sébastien _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
