I'm sorry actually to see that most of the names in the screenshot are people from India. Hacktoberfest to some degree has turned into a madfest with most college students here. Rather than actually contributing to open source, many new repos pop up during these times where fellow college students raise a PR for nothing.
It's the T-shirt that's the primary reason but also thr flaunting on social media as if I'm some kind of certified open source contributor.
PS: I've also been part of Hacktoberfest launch events where some people literally created their first PR.
