Useless PRs on GitHubs...

Hi !


I just noticed we are receiving some totally senseless PRs recently. I'm 
not sure it's not a tool that generates them, but it's a real annoyance.

I don't know if we can block such PRs (disabling the user account ?), 
but in any case, the best course of action ATM is to close them. I saw 
that Colm is closing them to.


I hope such a bad behavior is not going to spread like Coronavirus...

I thought it must be a bot but it looks like someone is manually wasting their time as well as ours.

Have a great weekend!

Appears to be a way to block a user, which we should do if it persists.
