Is Hacktoberfest Good for Maintainers?

Can you share how many spam PRs did you have? I thought to check here https://github.com/chartjs/Chart.js/pulls on my own but unfortunately you did not mark those with invalid or spam labels. For such a popular project like yours, did you get many? Was it overwhelming?

I'm really curious

I counted a total of 9. I went back and labelled them as spam. https://github.com/chartjs/Chart.js/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aclo...

To be honest, I was expecting a lot worse. There were a few that we allowed in that were in a grey area though. 3 or 4 small PRs fixing typos in the docs that really should have been a single PR, but since it was actually improving things I let it slide.
