To Github Owners: Do you like minor fixes? #Discuss

Over the last month or so I have been playing with creating Discord bots for Dungeons and Dragons using Javascript. For this I have been reviewing lot of packages that have Dungeons and Dragons functions and a lot of repos using Discord.js for ideas and understanding the best way to do things.

Over the last month I have raised 4 Pull Requests that fixed spelling or grammar or material issues in the readme.md files. Of these 4 pull requests - 3 have been merged and the other ignored (I don't think the repo owner is active on Github anymore).

My question to Repo owners - Do you like/want pull requests that correct minor issues like this?

If it fixes something, even if minor, of course I'd welcome it. I'm guessing the one case you mentioned where your PR hasn't been merged or otherwise responded to is probably as you guessed, not actively maintained. However, it could also be for the opposite reason. If it is a very active project then a minor doc edit PR would likely be lower priority than other PRs. I think you'd easily see if that is the case though.
