Contributions in open source projects are great, needed and make the world a better place after all. Therefore they should be declined politely, optionally by giving a reason.

Verifying that the code doesn't contain regressions, bugs, or vulnerabilities, that it doesn't conflict with whatever the owner is actively developing privately, in addition to making sure it wasn't vomited out by a goddamn clanker, is a huge burden on a solo developer. They are free to decide whether to take on this responsibility.
