I just wanted to highlight to people that there seems to be a series of garbage patches in various projects [1] which are basically doing things like fixing a single typo in a code comment, or very narrowly changing http to https in links within docs.

Also +1ing ones own changes.

I've been trying to snuff these out in nova, but I see it's basically a pattern widespread across several projects.

This is the boilerplate comment I give with my -1, feel free to employ it yourself.

"Sorry but this isn't really a useful change. Fixing typos in code comments when the context is still clear doesn't really help us, and mostly seems like looking for padding stats on stackalytics. It's also a drain on our CI environment.

If you fixed all of the typos in a single module, or in user-facing documentation, or error messages, or something in the logs, or something that actually doesn't make sense in code comments, then maybe, but this isn't one of those things."

I'm not trying to be a jerk here, but this is annoying to the point I felt the need to say something publicly.
