I am a bit confused about the recent (last couple of months) inflow in open source projects of accounts new to the projects asking to assign issues to them. At first, I thought it was a GitHub exclusive issue, but now I have seen it in #Wikimedia Phabricator too, that comment even with quotation marks around it. Does anyone have any idea why this happens now?
