The person doing this doesn't understand how pull requests work. The issues all say "I have a version in my fork". Open a pull request then! That's the whole point of forks on GitHub. Creating an issue first is pointless spamming akin to the classic "asking to ask". Just seems completely out of touch with open source to me.

Many projects disagree with you on this one. It is quite common to have a policy that forbids PRs without an issue or discussion first.
I've never actually seen this. Can you link an example?
Some projects require opening an issue first.
