It would seem like a much better idea to say that only PRs that are explicitly confirmed by the project maintainers as being valid will be counted.

Then you'll get people spamming maintainers to please hurry up and review/confirm their important PRs, and abuse if they don't.
That's easier to deal with, because the maintainers can just reject the PRs and not have to worry that the spammer will get goodies from Digital Ocean if they don't mark it as "invalid" or "spam" or some other magic tag. And as a maintainer, high on my list of "reasons to reject" would be "bugging me about a PR from a random person I've never had a submission from before and who has no other track record of contributions to open source projects".
