alt Hacker NewsOh that is such a bad heuristic ! The commits and history of how a PR was put together is no indicator of the quality of the PR or the thought process that led to it. Thats the equivalent of rejecting a (handwritten) essay for having too many corrections. ridiculous.
The code is all that should matter. Maybe comments for being nice to others and my future self. thats it.

It is, because it means the person posting the PR didn't even bothered to review the changes they are forcing others to review.
Just clean after yourself before asking others to read your stuff.
