Very nice. One thing missing: Always remember to update documentation when submitting updates! Can probably be lumped together with tests section. -Steve

It's a nice read. One comment: perhaps the balance has tipped a bit much to "making a good PR", rather than "doing a good review". I feel the merit of a review is to improve the contribution, rather than to decide whether it is mergable or not. Although it is in the article, I think it could be given a little more attention: the review itself should contribute to the project, i.e. the reviewer should (try hard to) propose alternatives if something should/could be improved. Criticism is very easy, _constructive_ criticism isn't; I think the latter is needed to gain a contributor, and the first does the opposite. -Johan
