I'd like to request that people change the way they work slightly. Please do NOT create a pull request until you are actually requesting people to review your work. There's some things in github that seem to suggest creating a PR then doing one's work there. This is problematic due to the high traffic volume of email it creates to this list.
Once you create a PR, this mailing list sees every push to your development branch on your fork, regardless of whether those are sensible points for additional review or you are just effectively making a checkpoint on your progress. Every one of these messages require processing time from everyone to decide whether review is needed, or if you are just checkpointing your work and we should tune-in later for the real review cycle. To me the important trigger email is creation of a new PR. At that point you are requesting people's time to review, and importantly... to review updates you make subsequently. If you open a PR too early the emails don't serve this purpose. They're just frankly, spam that I have to delete. I don't want to discourage people from creating early DRAFT PRs for early feedback on things. That's fine and very much encouraged. But early PRs should be closed and when ready for review again, a new PR created. Thanks for your help in this matter
