It may be intended behavior, but for a trivial change like this to easily, without warning, mass ping ~400k users that is not desirable behavior. The submitter thought he was pinging developers of the project, but instead pinged mostly people who do not handle accepting upstream changes. Discord for examples handles mass pings by showing you a warning dialog saying you are about to ping X many people and if you are sure you want to do that.
