We are updating our AI Policy to reduce maintenance stress. All pull requests are now automatically closed, unless they are created by maintainers or users from an approved list of contributors. The PR is not lost. If the team decides the change is worth pursuing, we will reopen it.

If you have a contributor role, then yes. But approved list is a separate thing

The amount of new pull requests per day is now too high to manage it with the amount of care and thought that we believe Vitest deserves.

With this change, we hope to take the agency back to us and away from an uncontrollable sweep of agents.

What prompts the team to evaluate the PRs? If you always do it, how does it alleviate your burden?
