This issue bugs me a lot. Pretty much all our PRs were updated 2 days ago
again :(

I've opened the ticket to Apache Infrastructure
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-18589 and I hope we can get to
the bottom of it. I believe it might be some integration we have (but I
have no access to it). I looked at other Apache repositories and they do
not have similar "updates" happening, so it must be something specific for
apache/airflow repo.
