Hey maintainers of leanprover-community!

I’ve noticed today that there are quite a few bot accounts leaving seemingly random and unhelpful comments on issues & PRs in various public repos. After digging around a bit, I came across this file in this project, which seems to be managed by your team. It looks like these bots might be connected to this.

I’m curious if this spam behavior is intentional or if something might have gone awry. These comments are unfortunately creating a bit of a mess for the maintainers of the affected repos. Could you shed some light on this? Any help or clarification would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

My understanding is that those JSON files are created / updated whenever a PR in https://github.com/leanprover-community/mathlib4 is updated (including receiving a comment), so it's just a reflection of the fact that we received spam on PR leanprover-community/mathlib4#24736 (comment)

Hey, thanks so much for the clarification! I’m sorry for any misunderstanding on my part. Thanks again for your help!
