9 reasons your open-source PR is getting ignored, including 100% AI-generated code

Developer jackedAJ lists nine common reasons PRs get ignored by maintainers: the issue isn't an obvious fix or priority; duplicate PRs already exist; the maintainer detects a 100% AI-generated PR with zero self-review; missing org prerequisites like signing the CLA or joining the community; the repo is dead/archived; CONTRIBUTING.md was never read; automated review feedback wasn't addressed; the maintainer is simply busy; or a newcomer submitted a 10k+ line mega-PR.
Notably relevant for AI-assisted open-source contributions — fully AI-generated PRs without self-evaluation are increasingly spotted and dismissed by maintainers.
