### How to adopt pull requests
279
+
280
+
Occasionally authors of pull requests get busy or become unresponsive, or project members fail to reply in a timely manner.
281
+
This is a natural part of any open source project.
282
+
To avoid blocking these efforts, these pull requests may be *adopted*, where another contributor creates a new pull request with the same content.
283
+
If there is an old pull request that is without updates, comment to the organization whether it is appropriate to add the
284
+
*[S-Adopt-Me](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/labels/S-Adopt-Me)* label, to indicate that it can be *adopted*.
285
+
If you plan on adopting a PR yourself, you can also leave a comment on the PR asking the author if they plan on returning.
286
+
If the author gives permission or simply doesn't respond after a few days, then it can be adopted.
287
+
This may sometimes even skip the labeling process since at that point the PR has been adopted by you.
288
+
289
+
With this label added, it's best practice to fork the original author's branch.
290
+
This ensures that they still get credit for working on it and that the commit history is retained.
291
+
When the new pull request is ready, it should reference the original PR in the description.
292
+
Then notify org members to close the original.
293
+
294
+
* For example, you can reference the original PR by adding the following to your PR description:
295
+
296
+
`Adopted #number-original-pull-request`
