Yeah. How the maintainer(s)s of a repo respond to trivial typo fixes (real ones, not spam) is also a good way to test things / check for any weird attitudes.

Most of the time, PR's are accepted easily and swiftly. But sometimes (rarely), the response is strange or off putting.

There is the occasional PR that just sits there forever without being looked at too, which just shows the repo at that URL is dead / unmaintained. Also good to know before putting much time/effort in. ;)
