Thanks a lot for taking this seriously. I regularly contribute but am not a “maintainer” so can’t really turn off PRs or anything, nor do I think that’s the right thing in this case. But some signal to spot these accounts at a glance before I go through and try to repro their issue or spend time engaging would be cool. Or immediate signal on “new accounts” (on HN usernames are green for like 30 days), or “account age vs PR velocity” would be interesting to me. Old accounts with regular PRs or Issues are not a prob, but the new accounts that just spam low quality issues and PRs are maddening.

Yep, totally get this. We're going to try and provide some quick solves first for the most affected maintainers, and then go back and make sure we can also help with the kind of nuance you describe.
