Draft pull requests count toward pull request limits
Draft pull requests now count toward repository pull request limits, giving maintainers better control over managing incoming contributions and reducing low-quality submissions.
Maintainers are seeing more low-quality contributions in their repositories and need better ways to manage them. You can now configure pull request limits to also include draft pull requests.
Previously, draft pull requests didn’t count toward a user’s limit. That meant someone could open any number of drafts, even when you’d set a limit for other pull requests. Counting drafts toward the limit helps you curb that loophole and reduce the clutter, notifications, and CI runs that can come with repository spam.
We’d love to hear how this setting works for you. Leave your feedback in our Community discussion.
