Aren't all issues unsolicited? The point of creating an issue is to somehow improve the project. If the author overlooked adding a license file, the issue this bot creates will do that. If they really did not mean to add a license, they say so and close the issue. The bot never asks them more than once.
As for people's response, every project owner that has received issues through the bot have either:
- closed the issue without taking any action
- added a license file and thanked the bot
