Does anyone know of attempts at automating issue creation across public repos on github/gitlab/etc.?

It would definitely be a nuisance, and I don't imagine it would actually work well, but I'm kind of surprised that I haven't heard of anyone trying it.

As an example: https://github.com/search?p=1&q=Add+support+for+the+XDG+Base+Directory+Specification&type=Issues
