I was curious what the average PR looked like, so I went to their project and opened one at random: https://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/5968/commits/5d8b75ef0a3...

Yeah, it's pretty bad.

And when their attempts to "contribute" to the WHATWG and Let's Encrypt documentation repos didn't go through, they resorted to creating a handful of dummy projects of their own, then making five pull requests on those repos from a new Github account.

At least that doesn't inconvenience open-source maintainers, I guess. It's clear that the spirit of the event has been lost, though.

That one seems gone, so I clicked on another, https://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/5984/commits/f056fd22b59...:

  - please let that site know of the problem instead. Thanks!</p>

Wow.

This PR would need another PR to fix white spaces and punctuality.

That PR unarguably makes the repo worse. That’s really bad!
