I agree with Bill.
 If the requested PRs are to provide metadata updates that feed into
generated web pages, that's fine.  But, the designing of the web pages
themselves is a unique skill that not all developers possess...

I'm not aware of recent discussions around
this site so maybe I'm missing some important background.

So, basically, we all need to be web designers for this site.  There's
no one at Eclipse who can take a request for improvements to the site and
design and implement the improvements.  Is there at least someone
with an overall vision for the site who can provide feedback on the PRs
so ensure that the site retains some sort of consistency?

Note that the page you refer to below still suggests that we should open
new issues.

Maybe the other teams are in better shape, but I'm not sure we have anyone
on the Oracle team with significant web design experience who could maintain
this site.  If you've seen most of our GitHub Pages, they leave something
to be desired.  That's the sort of updates you would be likely to
get from us for this site.  Fortunately, I know that some of the other
teams have members with more web design experience, so hopefully they'll
be able to fill this gap.

Hello all,
per recent discussions regarding the
need to continuously add / change jakarta.ee website, we have have received
a request from our web development team to always submit Pull Requestsinstead of issues.
As most people are developers on our
committees I am sure this is not going to be too much of a problem. How
to Get Started and contribute is documented on the 
https://github.com/jakartaee/jakarta.ee
If any questions or need for a short
training session on this, please let me know.

Many thanks for your contributions!

Best,
Tanja
