Vuejs rejects close to 75% of outside contributions

Looking at the PR history for the vuejs repo, I can't say that I'm surprised. Holy hell, what a wasteland.

Ya, here's some examples of spam:

https://github.com/vuejs/vue/pull/11847/files

https://github.com/vuejs/vue/pull/11853/files

https://github.com/vuejs/vue/pull/11820/files

https://github.com/vuejs/vue/pull/11818/files

All within the last month.

Maybe there's some tutorial for 'how to submit a PR on GitHub' that links to Vue.js and people are following that?

You’re exactly right re: tutorials. See the Hacktoberfest drama on HN from last October for more examples of this sort of thing.

That's was my thought, but it seems like those PRs aren't from last October...

Thank you, I had the best laugh of the day. Also has a point.

It would be neat if they could set up automatic filters based on the file type/size/etc. So they could automatically disallow any pull request to the README file for example.

Damn. They need to somehow discourage that. Do they blacklist those people?

That third one reminds me of the "covfefe" meme a while back (our Dear Leader at the time was also attempting to type the word "coverage").

Yep. The OP submitted a similar thread earlier today about 50% of external React PRs being rejected, and I left a comment saying that it's a combo of the React codebase being complex and most external PRs being junk or irrelevant.

It seems to happen more often for big JS projects like React and Vue. Julia projects do not seem to suffer from that.
