Are contributions still invited?

[waitasecant]

I am noticing that past few months any of the PRs from contributors are not attended to, unless from company employees. The question is, do you still encourage and invite contributions? And, any plans on getting the PRs which now are left to stale, reviewed?

For example: This PR raised by me on March 30th, no reviewers assigned. No activity. This is unlike last year when contributions were regularly reviewed.

Hi @waitasecant,

Thank you so much for raising this issue and for your patience while we’ve worked through our review process. We absolutely still encourage and value community contributions, they’re a vital part of how we improve this project, and we’re committed to ensuring every PR receives the attention it deserves.

We’re also reviewing our backlog of open PRs and will be reaching out to contributors like you to resolve any lingering issues or merge approved changes. If you ever notice a PR sitting for more than a week without feedback, please feel free to ping the maintainers, we’re here to help!

Looking forward to your future contributions. Your work makes a real difference!

Thanks, its reassuring! ❤️

You're right, and I appreciate you calling this out directly.

Yes, we still welcome contributions. The silence on your PR (and others) isn't intentional, but nonetheless our fault.  We've been heads-down building and shipping some big features (TypeScript SDK parity just landed, more coming soon on the roadmap), and in the process community PRs piled up without proper attention.  We also weren't great about being upfront when a PR was something we couldn't take on. Leaving those open with no response just buries the bug fixes and smaller contributions that we should be turning around quickly. That isn't an excuse, we need to do better.

We're course-correcting now. Over the next few weeks we're working on setting up more scalable mechanisms, working to get reviewers assigned, and where something isn't going to land, being transparent about why. We're also going to refocus some attention on signaling where contributions are most needed so folks aren't guessing.

Sorry for the wait. We'll do better.

Understandable, shipping for a new language takes its toll. Looking forward to more features! ❤️
