Your point 2. makes emminent sense to me, more so since over 95% of these PRs seem to come from India, where such statistics are considered to be important. (I was in India over 100 times in my job as a salesman before I retired). My worry is that key people, you, Oscar, Jason, others get tired of these AI - PRs and stop taking care of sympy - which would be the end of sympy. NB: I am too old and too ignorant to ever push a PR to sympy, but i enjoy the community a lot.
