That may be the intention, but what's happening is basically vandalism: https://github.com/search?o=desc&q=is%3Apr+%22improve+docs%22&s=created&type=Issues https://github.com/search?o=desc&q=is%3Apr+%22improve+docs%2... ~1000 single line/word pull requests in the last 3 hours, almost all worthless rubbish. The scale of the problem is pretty severe. To pick a single example: https://github.com/Geng-WD/websiteTest https://github.com/Geng-WD/websiteTest A little personal Java project, unchanged in 3 years, where a new "contributor" has submitted a pull request where they add a comment with their own name in one commit, and then remove it and replace it with "Awesome coding website" in a second commit. 19 hours earlier another new "contributor" submitted a pull request to add a completely irrelevant mock gym web page (and they've done the same thing to a bunch of other randomly chosen repos). If these people had to demonstrate valuable contributions over a longer span of time, I don't think any of this nonsense would be happening. There's no reason new CS students can't be respectful and put a little effort into doing something worthwhile, and they'll learn a lot more than from this mindless spamming.
