That's just one way to do it. Even if you let them send you PRs or whatever, you can still act on them or not depending on how they behave, your available resources, health, mood or just whim. You don't owe anyone anything and "creating a community around a project" is not a goal you have to be striving for regardless of whether you take contributions or provide some user support or not.

So, reviewing them.

Which takes time/focus.

So don't do it when you don't want to.

I found some prs in one of my GitHub projects which were over 12 months old. I just hadn’t noticed.

For a lot of projects, that interval is probably fine!

(I still get bug tracker emails for the kernel from before 2010!)
