If your PR is merged, you will see the "Matures in 14 days".
If not, you will see the error message.
Contributing : Tips

You search for a issue labelled hacktoberfest, you can find all the github issues for the hacktoberfest 2021 here
Choose the issue you want to fix and ask to be assigned
Fix the issue and create your PR
Wait for merge and ask the maintainer to give your PR the hacktoberfest-accepted label
Now, you can go back to your hacktoberfest profile, and you will see your first contribution !
You can make more than 4 PRs, but the main goal is 4.

Happy Hacktoberfest! We invite you to contribute NocoDB.
NocoDB is an open source Airtable alternative.
NocoDB works by connecting to any relational database and transforming them into a smart spreadsheet interface! This allows you to build no-code applications collaboratively with teams. NocoDB currently works with MySQL, PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, SQLite, Amazon Aurora & MariaDB databases.
Also NocoDB's app store allows you to build business workflows on views with combination of Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, Twilio, Whatsapp, Email & any 3rd party APIs too. Plus NocoDB provides programmatic access to APIs so that you can build integrations with Zapier / Integromat and custom applications too.
