Surviving Hacktoberfest: A Guide for Maintainers

Hacktoberfest is now an opt-in event, but maintaining high-quality pull requests can still be overwhelming for maintainers. To prioritize effectively, consider your project's aims and goals, its contributors, and then yourself. Managing notifications on GitHub is crucial to coping with overwhelm; set up custom routing, watch and unwatch repositories, subscribe and unsubscribe from specific issues or PRs, and move quickly to reject or provide feedback on pull requests. Maintaining a welcoming community is also essential, so take the time to thank contributors for their input and engage in friendly, yet efficient, communication.
