I'm with the author here; I don't really feel like dealing with people's PRs on my personal projects. The fact that GitHub only implemented a feature to disable PRs in February is absolutely baffling to me, but I'm glad it's there. Just because a project's source code is made available to the public under a permissive license does not mean the maintainer is under any obligation to merge other people's changes.

It feels like a lot of people assume a sense of entitlement because one platform vendor settled on a specific usage pattern early on.
