I wrote a document describing how I maintain open source projects, and linked it from my global CODE_OF_CONDUCT, CONTRIBUTING, and SECURITY files.

It talks about how I prefer issues to PRs, how I work in batches, and how I'm trigger-happy with bans.

Feedback welcome!

@filippo Excellent document, I agree with your CODE_OF_CONDUCT. The number of my open source projects is growing so I should create something similar 😃
@filippo This is great! The section on PRs is especially interesting to me. I was just thinking about this phenomenon yesterday where it often takes more effort to merge a PR then it would to do the work myself. You frame this interestingly!
@filippo Interesting! First of all, I applaud you for clearly articulating *how* you want people to contribute and *why*. I have no opinion on the content itself; I just think it's great that you've communicated what works for you and your project. I also think more projects could benefit from similarly clear explanations and well-defined expectations even if the details differ from yours.
@filippo Great resource! I like the document especially the part related to PR and work cycle. I currently work on my OSS projects in my spare time but most of your points works for me too. I was wondering if I should add something similar. Do you mind if in that case I write one adapting your document? (Of course giving proper attribution). Anyway thanks for sharing lot of useful things there.
@lucor absolutely, feel free to reuse it. Actually, I’ll add a CC BY 4.0 license to it.
@filippo Thanks! I'll keep you posted.
