Comment on The Pragmatic Open Source Contributor

If you want to increase the liklyhood of your contribution being merged, do:

* Provide unit-tests

* Good types

* No breaking changes

And if you want breaking changes or grand new features to be merged, you have to show activity in the issue tracker or fix open bugs first, to show the maintainer that you are willing to deal with the fallout or support requests that follow after a PR gets merged. This is not to be rude. This is seeing a PR through the eyes of a maintainer.
