Maintainer Review

Objective

Make a maintainer decision, not a generic code-review summary. Separate these questions:

1. Is the claimed behavior real?
2. What user outcome or constraint exists independently of the reporter's proposed API or fix?
3. Can supported functionality already achieve that outcome with reasonable composition or configuration?
4. If a gap remains, is the proposed solution the best design and implementation layer?
5. Can normal users plausibly reach the gap, and what happens when they do?
6. Is it important enough to act on now?
7. If this PR did not already exist, would maintainers choose to open and implement the same work?
8. For a PR, is this solution worth merging and maintaining?
9. Can overlapping or stale operations corrupt shared state or clean up resources owned by surviving work?
10. If competing PRs exist, which single implementation path should maintainers pursue?
11. Which ambiguous scope or semantic choices are maintainer-owned product/API decisions, and what concrete direction should the contributor implement?
12. What concise maintainer message should communicate a closure or change request clearly and politely?

Treat an issue's requested field, callback, flag, class, or implementation strategy as a proposed mechanism, not as the accepted requirement. Do not begin by asking how to implement it. First prove that a concrete user outcome is not already supported and that the proposed mechanism is better than the available alternatives.

Lead with the current review state. Use Preliminary assessment while decision-relevant evidence is pending, and Maintainer decision only when the review can be concluded. Use the diff, issue narrative, or contributor effort as evidence, not as a proxy for impact.

Workflow

1. Establish the exact target

• Accept a GitHub issue or PR URL as the primary input. Resolve its owner, repository, item type, and number before reviewing it.
• For an issue, read the full report, comments, reproduction, environment, linked material, and maintainer responses.
• For a PR, inspect the current remote base and head, full patch, commit history when relevant, tests, linked issue, and review discussion. Do not substitute the current local checkout for the remote change under review.
• State the claim in one falsifiable sentence. Distinguish the reported symptom from the reporter's proposed cause or fix.
• Identify the released behavior boundary when compatibility or regression claims matter.
• When a proposed change removes, reorders, or reinterprets an established observable or an explicit existing test expectation, inspect the introducing commit, blame, and original tests before any positive assessment. Intentional released coverage is compatibility-risk evidence even when it is not by itself a permanent public contract.
• Verify whether linked evidence matches the PR's exact runtime variant, provider or tool type, triggering condition, and user outcome. A generic issue title, conceptual similarity, or wording such as Related to does not transfer evidence of need to an adjacent extension. If the reported scenario has already been fixed, treat additional variants as new needs requiring their own evidence.
