> Of the 483,127 PRs submitted during Hacktoberfest, only 23,299 (4.82%) were identified as spam, with 19,587 (84.07%) of those being in a repository that the Hacktoberfest team excluded from the competition for not following the shared values and 3,712 (15.93%) being labeled as "invalid" by project maintainers.
