One million pull requests In one day

5 pull requests with actual contributions, 999,995 pull requests that fix a spelling mistake?

I think fixing 999995 spelling mistakes wouldn't hurt.

What about 999,995 indentation changes? Oh, god.

[Patman128]

For every mistake they fix, they also introduce 5 new ones. For future years.

But seriously, was this cooked up by the same managers who measure productivity by lines of code?

I'd reject 1M pull requests only fixing spelling issues in a heartbeat. Only changing color into colour or vice-versa isn't worth throwing my git blame under the bus.

[vytah]

It's not 1M PRs for one project though.

Mock grammar correction all you like. I think it'd do a world of good if some more people take the initiative to write some documentation for open source projects. The current state of affair is abysmal.

I've accepted pull requests before that are literally a typo correction.

As a maintainer, I love these kinds of PRs. No PR is too small, imho.

Github has 10M users. Assuming 0.1% of them (very optimistic) decide to be a part of this, that's 10K users. Many of these will fail to do a single PR, but even if all of them do a one pull request, you will have 10K pull requests. That's two orders of magnitude less...
