yeah, I thought they were going to provide some sort of rationale as to why they've never implemented this. instead this post just basically goes "yeah, you guys have been asking for this feature for 10 years, and... it's a good idea! let's do it."
We've had the ability to temporarily disable PR's for a while for maintainers but we felt like it was time to look at this again and see what folks think.
Collaboration on repos where the authors explicitly don't accept PRs and are going to auto close or ignore them? I don't get it - it's not like you're going to force opensource on anyone.
