I got one of these (they changed the title of the project in the readme to that of one of their personal projects) earlier and had no idea what it was about until a GitHub support person told me it was just more Hacktoberfest spam (at which point I went up and learned what that is). And apparently it's my responsibility to clean it up? No thank you.

I love the idea, but maybe let me opt in or something instead of putting the burden on me to reduce your spam. It would be trivial to have projects put a "hacktoberfest" label on something if they want to participate, for example.
