Hacktoberfest
There is this open-source contribution incentive thing called
"Hacktoberfest" --
https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com
If we merely add the "hacktoberfest" label to our GitHub repo here:
https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr/blob/master/.asf.yaml
then we may see some additional PR based contributions to Lucene/Solr.
If a PR contributor mentions Hacktoberfest, we also then add the
"hacktoberfest-accepted" label to the PR itself. Example:
https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr/pull/1970 That PR is what exposed me
to this program.
Can I get another PMC's +1 to the idea and I'll just edit our labels?
"Risks" are perhaps more PRs/contributions than we are used to, some may be
typo in nature, and probably without JIRA issues. Granted, trivial ones
don't need JIRA issues anyway.

Okay. Maybe our large project is not an ideal candidate to be labelled
with this. Still... when an individual PR requests the label then there's
no harm in labelling just the PR as such --
https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr/pull/1970

From my previous experiences, Hacktoberfest tends to lead to a lot of spam
which can IMO tarnish the overall quality of PRs of the project.
There is a Twitter handle (@shitoberfest) that highlights this...
