             Summary: Update PR template to suggest Github's: "Allow Edits From Maintainers" option
                 Key: SOLR-13775
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-13775
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Improvement
      Security Level: Public (Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
          Components: github
            Reporter: Jason Gerlowski
            Assignee: Jason Gerlowski


As discussed recently on the mailing list, Github does have one big downside: it's pretty onerous for two people to both contribute code to the same PR.  PR's typically come from personal-fork's of Solr, owned by an individual.  If that individual doesn't think to give other collaborators edit-access, then they must open secondary-PRs to get their changes the primary PR.  These secondary PRs must be reviewed, merged etc.

This makes collaboration much more difficult than it is in the patch world for example, where I can (e.g.) help a contributor clean up their formatting by just uploading a new patch.

Unfortunately the best workaround at this point for this in github is to prompt those opening PRs to grant access to Solr's upstream committers and maintainers. We can do this by linking users to this [option|https://help.github.com/en/articles/allowing-changes-to-a-pull-request-branch-created-from-a-fork] in the "PR checklist" that was added recently.

Users don't have to provide this access if they don't want.  But hopefully it'll many collaboration easier in many cases.
