<p>Andrew,</p>
<p>I doubt you can enforce that through github configuration, and
even if we could, that seems to me like adding overhead to all the
people acting reasonably (some "institutional" large projects may
have that kind of policy, but none of the projects I regularly or
occasionally contribute to require this). That said, opening an
issue to discuss a problem and expose some ideas can certainly be
done when needed (and going through a full RFC for substantial
changes), but someone contributing a typo fix shouldn't have to
open a ticket first.</p>

the change to be made and then some approval before
permitting an PR to be opened? (I have no idea if this is
technically feasible.)<br>

based on the experience gained from the initial policy, I
