Hacktoberfest 2022

[oliverklee]

I'd like to propose this project to participate in Hacktoberfest, which would allow it to potentially get some contributions and (hopefully) new contributors.

For this, the tag hacktoberfest needs to be added to the repository (in the repository settings), and the issue label hacktoberfest needs to be created.

Optionally, some easy-for-new-contributors issues can be tagged with the new label, and the maintainer(s) can register at https://hacktoberfest.com/ with their GitHub account as a maintainer.

What do you think, @sabberworm, @westonruter ?

I’m in favour if it helps with getting high-quality solutions to long-standing issues. If it only attracts people wanting to add features (and, thus, complexity), I don’t know whether it’ll be worth the effort. Do you already have some issues in mind that could be tackled by potential contributors?

[oliverklee]

Not yet, but I could have a look at the code and create some easy cleanup tickets for this. Would you like me to do so?

[sabberworm]

If you’re willing to set up everything, I can make you a project member. Would that work for you?

[oliverklee]

Yes, that would work for me.

After accepting the invitation (thanks!), I still don't seem to have the necessary permissions for adding the topic. Could you please do that?

1. on the project root page, click on the top-right cogwheel icon
2. add the topic "hacktoberfest"
3. click on "Save changes"
4. Done!

(I was able to create the issue label without problems, though.)

Closing. We have participated in Hacktoberfest 2022 (without any contributions, though).
