@AnarchoNinaWrites a pull request is when i open your project and say "hey, you should add this code into here, please!"
i take your code, make some change to it, and then "request" that you "pull" my change into your official repo
so what appears to be happening is a gold rush to trick git maintainers into... blindly pulling a file onto their codebases which declares "JEFF WUZ HERE, JEFF OWNS THIS CODE"?? i can't see a scenario where someone actually just accepts the pull request, though
