How do I follow up with project maintainers?

Hi, I submitted a pull request last week, but I haven't heard back. How should I follow up with the maintainers?

It's great that you've submitted a pull request! You can follow up by politely asking for an update on your PR. A simple message like, 'Hi, I wanted to check in on my pull request #123. Is there any feedback or updates?' can work well.

That sounds good! Should I mention anything specific in my message?

Yes, you can mention any specific changes you made or highlight any discussions that might be relevant. This shows you're engaged and helps maintainers recall your PR.

What if I still don't get a response after following up?

If you don't get a response, it's okay to follow up again after a week or two. You can also engage with the community by participating in discussions or issues to increase visibility.

Thanks! This is really helpful. Any tips on how to be more involved in the project?

Absolutely! You can start by reviewing other pull requests, reporting issues, or contributing to documentation. Engaging with the community on forums or chat channels can also help.
