I'll add that for small projects, (and I suppose large ones) it's also a "unwelcome" task. Kinda like docs is.

Open Source projects are typically done by people who like coding. Writing docs, reviewing PRs, "management" are all chores, not fun parts of the project.

I manage a couple of projects that get submissions. Handling that is really not the fun part of my day. Fortunately I get very few. I can understand why ones that get a lot see it as a burden, not as the great gift the submitter thinks it is.

Personally I don't want to spend hours each day reviewing PRs. That's not what I signed up for.
