All,

The spate of PRs (nearly) all at the same time, all with (nearly) the same title and all with (nearly) the same apology appear to be linked.

I don't know what is going on but I have a very hard time believing that they were all accidental. It looks very much like deliberate, coordinated activity to me.

The question is what do we do about it. Do we
- ignore it

Yes don't feed the trolls.

- add a comment to the PR that we view it as abusive and that
   - any further on the PR will be reported to GitHub as abuse
   - any further behaviour of this nature from this user will reported to
     GitHub as abuse
   - anyone reported to GitHub for abuse *will* be permanently banned
     from contributing to all ASF repositories
- report them (and ban them) for abuse now

That is probably the other option.


I suspect some training course is using Tomcat to send dummy PRs. As such I'm leaning to the second option as it should send a clear message that such use is not acceptable.

Thoughts?

It might be the next new kind of spam :-(
