Trust me it’s not being solved by a CONTRIBUTING.md with guidelines.
90% of contributors won’t read it at all or only some parts of it and ignore the rest.
Most PRs you get solve some super specific individual problem and aren’t relevant for the wider community that uses your OSS.
It’s not their fault really but most contributions are so bad it doesn’t serve to spend any time on reviewing them earnestly.

Can I get your opinion on https://github.com/Judahmeek/frogs as an open-source maintainer?
Edit: https://judahmeek.com/p/we-need-frogs-to-defend-foss may be the better link to start with.
