How to be a good contributor
- Proposal
  - After 60 days of inactivity in a ticket (no answer from contributor), the ticket is labeled as stale.
  - After an additional 7 days without response, the ticket is closed (can be reopened later)
- Summary
  - Pre-development discussion: Validate changes via Mattermost or in JIRA tickets before coding to avoid unneeded work: That's documented here -> https://wiki.idempiere.org/en/New_Feature_Suggestion_Guidelines
  - Review process: Mandate responses to feedback; close stale PRs after 60 days without reply from the contributor to reduce noise.
  - PR quality: Include steps to reproduce, test cases, test packs (e.g., 2Packs with needed data), docs, design explanations, and unit tests; make reviews easy.
  - One task that we need to do is review and update contribution guidelines with up-to-date information.
- The actionable items today are
  - Update contribution pages:
  - Announce new guidelines in Mattermost and JIRA;
  - Ping open old PR owners to respond or close after 7 days of no response
