There was a trend for a while for people to open trivial PRs against popular projects, I believe in an attempt to pad their resumes.


They can keep padding their resume if it means little fixes actually happen. Even typos and little translations, they affect the general reputability of the software. Sounds like a fair trade, especially as most hiring companies can just look at PRs and see what was actually changed very easily.


This is still a trend unfortunately.


It's called Hacktoberfest.


Hacktoberfest is coming
