Hi @wei.

I just noticed a series of apparently unsolicited PRs opened against wordpress/wordpress-develop forks and it's causing quite a bit of noise. My Github notifications are lighting up because I was @-mentioned in comments on those PRs, which themselves are the result of bots that address new PRs.

Are you or is someone running this pull-bot against WordPress? if so, could we pause that to avoid overwhelming the project contributors and maintainers?

Thanks!

Thanks @wei. Here are some:

Did anyone request that your code create pull requests on these repos? Is this even you doing this or did someone else use your tool to start creating these?

Hi @dmsnell correct, the fork owners requested Pull to be run on their repos to automatically create pull requests from upstream (wordpress-develop's trunk branch to the fork's trunk branch).

It appears the notifications you are receiving are originating from "Props Bot / Generate a list of props (pull_request_target)" workflow which is set up to tag users like yourselves. I recommend updating this workflow so it doesn't run on forks, and put the username inside a code block so it doesn't get treated as a notification by GitHub.
