My reasoning is basically that new pull-request senders are more work for me, because I have to make sure they have a GPG key set up, and then examine pull requests pretty carefully to check they're well-formed, all the sign-offs are correct, the changes aren't touching areas of the codebase that they shouldn't, and so on. That's particularly painful if the first pull request that comes through is a massive one rather than "here's a small number of patches with some bug fixes". thanks -- PMM
