Split the quality-expectations section into two paragraphs (the warning
about low-quality contributions being declined was visually merged with
the preceding paragraph). Replace "and the pull request closed without
warning" with a note that maintainers may not always be able to provide
detailed feedback, which conveys the same practical reality.

I've pushed a commit (92ff6df). How do you feel about this wording? I worry this may soften the point you are making too much, which I would not want to happen. But this also explains the reasoning why feedback may be absent -- and I am hoping it may also avoid discouraging people from contributing, while at the same time hopefully making the situation at least as clear, and setting the exact same expectations, as in the original wording.

Pull request overview

This PR updates the project’s contribution guidelines to set explicit quality expectations for contributions and to require disclosure/identification for AI-assisted work when it meaningfully affects a PR, commits, or GitHub interactions.

Changes:

  • Add a “Quality expectations” section defining baseline standards (readability, maintainability, tests where practical, documentation, consistency).
  • Add an “AI-assisted contributions” section describing disclosure requirements and agent identification expectations.

💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.
