The guy running the show at the Appimage organization routinely runs a bot that automatically creates thousands of issues asking maintainers of random repositories to create Appimage builds, or if there already is an Appimage build it asks them to comply with good Appimage practices, or to fix paths or icons, and so on. Why can they do that with no problems while this less known but more useful bot can't? According to the description here, the bot was useful because it was fixing minor issues in an automated, easy to integrate way with no reasonable downsides to maintainers (other than having to eyeball the pull request and merge it).

Is there any information on this?

Whilst fixing problems is fine, spamming developers is not. It would be interesting to find out more about this 'bot'.

Check out the few times he has over 200 contributions in a single day, most of those are issues opened with a bot and so on.
