Occasionally I receive a sequence of emails from GitHub where a PR is requesting my review by some user, the-knights-who-say-ni responds with a CLA request, and then Bedevere closes it, without comment. Latest example: https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/5693
This seems to be some kind of user error -- the GitHub description is typically something like "<user> wants to merge 398 commits into master from 3.5". But this happens so frequently I would like to prevent this user error from happening in the first place.
Does anyone understand what these users are doing that causes such PRs to be created?
