 With coding agents, the number of open PRs now far exceeds our review 
capacity. To help reviewers focus on fewer PRs, users without write access are 
limited to **3 open, non-draft PRs** at a time. If you've reached the limit, 
wait for existing PRs to be merged, close some of them, or convert some to 
drafts until you have fewer than three open PRs before opening another.
 
+Contributors who have shown sustained engagement with the project can be 
exempted from the limit. The exemptions are listed under `bypass_users` in 
[`.asf.yaml`](https://github.com/apache/iceberg-rust/blob/main/.asf.yaml). 
Exempt contributors should open lower-priority or blocked PRs as drafts so 
reviewers can see where to focus.

 #### Title
 
 The pull request title must follow the format outlined in the [conventional 
commits spec](https://www.conventionalcommits.org). [Conventional 
commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org) is a standardized format for 
commit messages. iceberg-rust only requires this format for commits on the 
`main` branch. And because iceberg-rust squashes commits before merging 
branches, this means that only the pull request title must conform to this 
format.
