Relevant since we started outright rejecting agent-made PRs in awesome-selfhosted [1] and issuing bans for it. Some PRs made in good faith could probably get caught in the net, but it’s currently the only decent tradeoff we could make to absorb the massive influx of (bad) contributions. >99.9% of them are invalid for other reasons anyway. Maybe a good solution will emerge over time.

      Perhaps they don’t want to take the time to code it themselves, or they don’t have the coding expertise but want missing features.
