    I’ve never heard of this.

    Did you bother to look?

    It’s gotten bad enough that Github added a feature to allow maintainers to disable pull requests entirely.

    Full shutdowns are rarer (only Cal.com and Jazzband spring to mind), because maintainers are trying to stay open and fight the avalanche of slop with AI contribution policies.

    Looking at all of the above, why do you think people shouldn’t be skeptical when the number of PRs suddenly spikes?

      Hmm, I was only aware of the ones that actually, accidentally made it into releases. Well, what’s to stop such devs from still getting targeted despite these safety checks (I mean, in their personal lives)? We’ve gotta find a way to protect these critical individuals…
