Value Prop
Repository maintainers can now configure draft pull requests to count toward a user's pull request limit, closing a loophole that allowed contributors — or automated agents — to open unlimited draft pull requests. This gives teams stronger control over their contribution workflows, reducing unwanted noise from notifications, unnecessary CI runs, and a cluttered pull request list. Whether you're managing a large open source project or enforcing contribution policies in an enterprise environment, this setting helps your limits actually work as intended.
Expected Outcome
Teams that rely on pull request limits to manage spam or enforce contribution policies will have a more effective tool that covers both open and draft pull requests. By making this behavior configurable, maintainers can tailor the setting to their repository's needs without impacting teams who prefer the existing behavior.
