Quality Contributions === Happy Maintainers 😊

We value meaningful contributions, but watch out for low-quality PRs—things like automated changes, copy-pasting someone else’s work, or opening multiple PRs for trivial fixes. Keep it impactful, and make every pull request count!

For more on quality standards, check out Hacktoberfest guidelines.
