This works out to just over 36% of the "participants" actually

Is there a list of the Pull Requests listed below? I'd like to
personally examine how many of them are substantive.<br>

What would be the ideal way to improve this, from your perspective?<br>

<div> And I think we had too many open-ended design tasks -- we
should pare back that somewhat next year, but not eliminate them. (They
are required by Google, for one thing.) Maybe structure them such that a
student can only do 1 or 2 simple design tasks by marking them as
beginner tasks (although I think that was the case for the most part
this year too.) <br></div>
