"Contributed to [x] open source projects, having 95% of my [y] pull requests accepted" is becoming common on resumes at the younger end of the labor market. This kind of PR is easy to automate and serves to boost those numbers on the resume. They don't even have to care about the issue at all, it can simply be a way to market themselves with little effort.

I’ve also had people spam “approvals” on some projects I maintain to pad their stats. Incredibly annoying to get 100+ notifications for that. I reported one particularly bad offender to GH and they were banned for a day, at least. Their profile readme still brags about how active they are.
