<p dir="auto">If I were to do it again, I'd chat more with the maintainers of the website first.</p>

<p dir="auto">Thanks! That would be appreciated, since after Hacktoberfest a few years ago it brings back bad memories to be the "target" of an unexpected third-party competition.</p>
<p dir="auto">It's also an opportunity for us to help make sure the challenge is likely to be successful, as I mentioned above. Unfortunately some things have other development work that needs to be completed first, before they can be considered, and this is not always obvious. So I want to avoid frustration as much as possible, particularly if new contributors are working on something that seems to them straightforward but has no realistic chances of being merged.</p>

<p dir="auto">I was hoping that this could help encourage people to contribute to the website.</p>

<p dir="auto">Contributions are always welcome!</p>
