Yes, but if your barriers to contribution exist to discourage those that's a roundabout thing that affects serious contrib too.

If you don't like drive by PRs just close the damn things.

(also, the dynamic of a large community maintaining code is different than solo maintainership)

Yeah this is key to me — once you hit Go’s scale you have enough maintainers to easily handle the random stuff with little effort

litmus check: golang/go and rust-lang/rust have almost exactly same number of forks.

IIRC go has a larger paid team. I think Rust has hit the scale @Gankro is talking about, I am not sure if Rust has hit/surpassed Go.

Rust is an interesting case because I'm pretty sure I'll never contribute even trivial stuff to rustc or libstd.

it's got nothing to do with gerrit; contributing to LLVM, which uses Phab, is downright *easy*. But the whole process is incredibly tedious

Contributing to LLVM isn’t that easy. Bugzilla allows uploading patches, but you aren’t supposed to use it. Phabricator’s UI is confusing

I pretty much had to guess and hope I was clicking the right options in Phabricator.

I think an apples-to-apples comparison would be phab/gerrit versus github PR plus rebase. not bare github PR.

as it is the rustc commit history is a bizarre mash of "Auto merge of" and WIP fixes that will be recorded forever
