There was a recent example of a project that followed this strategy: Litestream. Initially, Litestream was closed to external contributions because it was too expensive for the maintainer team to handle them. As I said before: reviewing Pull Requests costs time and money. If there is not enough time or money, a project can simply choose to not accept external contributions. Fast forward, Litestream now accepts bug fixes contributions, but no features. Bug fixes are slightly easier to handle as they are clearly scoped and most of the time the number of changes is small.
