Thanks Ryan. But what is a review period? It says that my other four has 1 day left? Hope you can help! ;)

The review period is so that maintainers have a chance to review pull requests and mark any with an invalid tag for any that seem like they are made just to get +1 pull requests.

Thanks Ryan. ;) That makes more sense.

@ryansmith , what happens if the PR is not reviewed by the maintainer, or the PR is not marked with an invalid tag at all?

@sudo_kaizen In that case, it counts towards Hacktoberfest contributions after the review period.

ok.. that means, according to the hacktoberfest rules, merging a PR is not necessary only passing the review period is necessary.
