    Drive by pull requests are really annoying, especially by somebody who has no interest in the project who’s never built the project who’s not willing to babysit the changes all the way to maturity.

    If he made a interface that listed projects with typos, and had a button that the project maintainer could interface with to get a pull request to fix the typos, that would be opt-in consensual and a feature. The name and shame board could then be used to encourage projects to fix their typos.

    I.e. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4j-q_w6ZrFc

    (Don’t open this link, it’s just bait, for that new pipe bot to demonstrate how annoying drive-by-bots are)
