For a project on Github I maintain, I've seen increased amount of low quality PRs in the recent months (changes where it was obvious that the submitter never ran the code or interacted with the project as a user) that seemed to be raised just for the purpose of getting some sort of cred. These create noise and extra work for the maintainers. Most of them originated from India, I believe. Had to remove those 'help-wanted' and 'good-first-issue' tags because of these void PRs.
