Are they pushing a commit to github every time someone downloads something, or is this download_counter something else? https://github.com/AdoptOpenJDK/openjdk10-releases/commit/44...

LMAO, I think you're right. It's pushing commits like this every 30 mins

Maybe the bot is trying to boost its github commit stats before applying for a job at Oracle?

That is an incredible catch. It does look like it pushes an update consistently a few times per hour it seems?

It's a good bot, we'll likely change this mechanism though :-)
