* PRs for simple documentation fixes (e.g., spelling and grammar corrections) are always welcome. For more substantial changes, I don’t necessarily prefer PRs to issues or feature requests. A good description of the problem with a working example is better than a half-baked PR. I can often fix it in less time than it would take to review the PR. (= Principle of Efficiency)
