I've always been a fan of "pull requests welcome" when someone asks me for something.

The problem is when people then open huge PRs and expect you to take time to review them, then eventually merge them.

Especially when it's something you don't want in your codebase because it introduce a big unnecessary "refactoring" or a feature that you don't want to have to maintain forever.
