......@@ -312,22 +312,13 @@ We want to avoid a situation when a contributor picks an
because we realize that it does not fit our vision, or we want to solve it in a
different way.
We add the ~"Accepting merge requests" label to:
- Low priority ~bug issues (i.e. we do not add it to the bugs that we want to
solve in the ~"Next Patch Release")
- Small ~feature
- Small ~"technical debt" issues
After adding the ~"Accepting merge requests" label, we try to estimate the
[weight](#issue-weight) of the issue. We use issue weight to let contributors
know how difficult the issue is. Additionally:
- We advertise [`Accepting merge requests` issues with weight < 5](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/issues?state=opened&label_name[]=Accepting+merge+requests&assignee_id=None&sort=weight)
as suitable for people that have never contributed to GitLab before on the
[Up For Grabs campaign](https://up-for-grabs.net/#/)
- We encourage people that have never contributed to any open source project to
look for [`Accepting merge requests` issues with a weight of 1](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/issues?state=opened&label_name[]=Accepting+merge+requests&assignee_id=None&sort=weight&weight=1)
We automatically add the ~"Accepting merge requests" label to issues
that match the [triage policy](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/engineering/quality/triage-operations/#accepting-merge-requests).
We recommend people that have never contributed to any open source project to
look for issues labeled `~"Accepting merge requests"` with a [weight of 1](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/issues?state=opened&label_name[]=Accepting+merge+requests&assignee_id=None&sort=weight&weight=1).
More experienced contributors are very welcome to tackle
[any of them](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/issues?state=opened&label_name[]=Accepting+merge+requests&assignee_id=None).
