@NewtonMark I don't have a plane to put in it, but that sounds awesome and I want one.

For the record: GitHub has implemented disabling of PRs on a repo[0] and as a result we have done that and opened up the test repo, making the aforementioned test results[1] public.

So, uh, good job GitHub! Shame it took you ten years, but better late than never.

There is an intermediate step between full off and full on which is "collaborators only". It's not clear who that covers: if it was project members only that would be a useful addition to the test process, but if it includes the rando that sent a one line typo fix to the main repo 3 years ago, not so much.

Welcome to the Eternal September of open source. Here's what we plan to do for maintainers.

As contribution friction drops, maintainers are adapting with new trust signals, triage approaches, and community-led solutions.

@mwl I tried searching for an example of this to see what it might be but discovered that the Internet is much angrier at some guy called George Lucas than it is at you.

@werdahias Github/Microsoft seem to be reconsidering, so we'll see how that pans out. If the current proposal or something like it ends up going ahead, then we will probably have to start considering other options.

@NewtonMark looks like one of your daily serves of fruit & veg to me.

@jelu thanks, but I already have enough to maintain without adding a custom github runner to that list.

@trode We do actually make extensive (and hopefully thoughtful, efficient and effective) use of the hosted runners on our public repo, and right now that usage is free since it's in public. Our problem with the proposed selfhosted change is that there would be no way to do that in a way that is both public (and thus free) and safe.

BTW here are the test configurations that are currently public: 85 native Github hosted in various configurations and another 14 VM-based ones run on Github's infra. We have another 62 selfhosted test configurations on various platforms that we would like to make public but currently can't.
