Are Brazilian developers less likely to have a contribution accepted than their peers from, say, the United Kingdom? In this paper we studied whether the developers’ location relates to the outcome of a pull request. We curated the locations of 14k contributors who performed 44k pull requests to 20 open source projects. Our results indeed suggest that developers from countries with low human development indexes (HDI) not only perform a small fraction of the overall pull requests, but they also are the ones that face rejection the most.

来自不同人类发展水平的国家的开源贡献有多成功？

与来自英国的同行相比，巴西开发商是否不太可能接受贡献？在本文中，我们研究了开发人员的位置是否与拉取请求的结果相关。我们策划了 14k 贡献者的位置，他们对 20 个开源项目执行了 44k 拉取请求。我们的结果确实表明，来自人类发展指数 (HDI) 低的国家的开发人员不仅执行了总体拉取请求的一小部分，而且他们也是最容易遭到拒绝的人。
