Grace Hopper Celebration Canceled: A Big Loss For Women In Tech This Year buff.ly/ZwOSpB6

We still want to find a way to bring the community together. If you planned to be in California for the Grace Hopper Celebration, I invite you to join us this year for GitHub Universe, Oct 28-29. 🌉
We've set aside 75 complimentary passes for folks with cancelled registrations. While this doesn't replace the conference and Universe has far fewer attendees than GHC, my hope is that it does give folks an opportunity to connect with each other. 📷 DM the GitHub team on LinkedIn or email me at [email protected] (first come first serve).

Looking for an open source leadership opportunity? Join me on the @todogroup steering committee! We’re writing a book to help organizations run open source programs and exploring how AI agents can help us automate tasks.

After introducing PR limits, we heard from maintainers dealing with a flood of draft PRs.
You can now turn on “Count draft pull requests toward the limit” to include drafts in your repository’s limit.
What other controls would help you manage contributions?
Ashley Wolf retweeted
As low-quality contributions increase across open source repositories, more contributors should have the tools to help manage repos.
Users with triage, write, maintain, or admin access can now archive PRs.
Users with triage role or higher can now archive and unarchive pull requests.
• Archiving closes PRs, makes them read-only, and hides them from public view
• Unarchiving restores commenting but does not reopen the PR

Replying to @im_brian_d @moraes_c_
FWIW I think there's actually something even more fundamental underneath what you're saying that conveniently we were discussing a couple days ago too - what if maintainers could make infrastructure costs visible and have them be something that could be contributed to?

Pull request limits can now include draft pull requests.
• Draft PRs previously didn’t count, allowing unlimited drafts despite limits
• This helps reduce spam, clutter, notifications, and unnecessary CI runs in repos

Devs used to give things cool names pulled from mythology, sci-fi…
Now we have Meat Proxy and Clankers.
What happened?

PMs: your engineers live in GitHub.
What would it take for you to move in too? Better docs? Less issue wrangling? Something to exist pre-ticket? What would make it feel "native" for you, too?
