Fully agree with a twist - ban dumb large PRs.

To add to my openspec shilling above, I've been known to "fix" large PRs by reverse engineering specs from them and building each spec out in a separate PR.

Last week me and a coworker turned a 15k line PR into 10 x 1.5k line ones that went in smoothly.

Yes I do like to make a big pr first sometimes but then it's usually pretty easy to split it into small ones and it's a helpful process in many ways.
