Project maintainers aim for a quick turnaround on refactoring pull requests, so
where possible keep them short, uncomplex and easy to verify.
+Pull requests that refactor the code should not be made by new contributors. It
+requires a certain level of experience to know where the code belongs to and to
+understand the full ramification (including rebase effort of open pull requests).

+Trivial pull requests or pull requests that refactor the code with no clear
+benefits may be immediately closed by the maintainers to reduce unnecessary
