Should just be an instant perma-ban (along with closure, obviously).

Seems a bit disproportionate. I'd say that's more of a "repeat offender" type of solution.
Submitting a pure slop PR and description is a very high level offense that is obviously not acceptable.
Whats disproportionate is the mountains of slop out there and the amount of people think they can just sling slop for cheap online cred.
Once might just be a script kiddie not knowing any better. More than once is a script kiddie refusing to know any better.

This is the internet. Real offenders will just submit the next PR with a new alt account.

Than it escalates to a platform issue so you just report them in that case. GitHub enforcement staff handles it

“- Creating alternative accounts specifically to evade moderation action taken by GitHub staff or users”

its still an added inconvenience and means they cant use AI to farm reputation on a single account
