What would change it

Very few outside PRs get merged. Say in CONTRIBUTING what kind of change you'd accept, and label issues you'd welcome help with.
Close PRs you won't take with a short reason, so newcomers learn what would land.

The same written rules judge every repo, from your last few months of PRs. Check again once things change.
