That's why the real big change in the policy is that new contributors can't take big features or refactors.

  The first one was for a $4k bounty. The second one was for a university assignment.

> This contribution is part of a university course project where we are required to make a real open-source contribution This university is very stupid university. Is there anyway to know which university is forcing these kids to spam open source project?

  Yeah the entire community telling devs for the last 15 years that open source contributions is how you get a job. Stupid statements get stupid incentives.

  It’s not even a rarity / one-off thing. From my personal heuristics and anecdata, this happens with regularity, near semester end times. Telltale marks: authors with university emails in github profile, often coming in pairs, with no prior interaction with the project, often trying to add features nobody wanted. Not even a CONTRIBUTING.md read-through, usually.

He is a preteen and simply doesn't yet have the foundational understanding needed to begin to grasp the problem or the social constructs involved.
