Anecdotally, I'm getting a lot of obvious spam on my repos that are >4 years old and less spam on other repos. Also, my "org account" (from before orgs were a thing / fully featured) got more spam than my personal account (which I don't use often these days but does at least book a commit or two most months).
So, the spammers are probably intentionally targeting repos where folks aren't likely to bother marking as spam.
On a separate note, I do not understand why people care so much about mid-quality t-shirts...

Most likely a mix of "it's free", "it's easy", and "it looks nice on a CV". Perfect storm for a lot of students and juniors to spend an hour of their time on, without bothering to spend the extra two to actually make the contributions useful.
I found the T-Shirt really nice and comfortable. Sure, it's not the highest grade, but it's a damn nice thing to get for free!
