How pull request limits are cutting down the noise

▤ Summary

GitHub is rolling out pull request limits to help repository maintainers reduce spam and manage high-volume contribution queues. The new setting caps how many pull requests a user without write access can keep open at once, while allowing trusted contributors to bypass the limit. GitHub says the feature is designed to make good contributions easier to spot and to give maintainers more control over review workload. The company also outlined upcoming controls for archiving pull requests, limiting issues, and adding smarter bypass rules and cross-repository enforcement.
