Off-topic but why did I get a notification for this thread? I've never interacted with this project, yet received an email. Anyone else?

I think I'm in the same situation. I don't remember this thread nor repository but still get this thread's notifications now and on.

I didn't pay much attention to it tho. But now that you make the point I will proceed to unsubscribe from its notifications.

Somebody tried to scam us, and it seems like GitHub decided to subscribe us to the discussion since we were mentioned.

Sorry for that. The origin spam comment @ ed too many people, and everyone who were @ ed will receive notifications when there is a new comment.

@YesShubham01 I think the best approach to contribute Robolectric with code is to use it, find bugs/features, try to fix or implement it and learn core modules of Robolectric, send PRs to review and learn from discuss, and PRs are merged. If you want to contribute to shadow implementations, the largest part of Robolectric, it's better you can read AOSP source code and implement some similar logic with pure Java for Robolectric.

The Robolectric will not participate in GSoC 2023.
