    Many do have automated checking, testing, rules for the PR maker to follow and such.

    The issue is that these submitters are (often) drive-by spammers. They aren’t honest, they don’t care about the project, they just want quick kudos for a GitHub PR on a major project.

    Filtering a sea of scammers is a whole different ballgame than guiding earnest, interested contributors.
