FWIW, I tried to reach privately some of those folks spamming the
Telemetry projects with poor patches.

Turns out that some of them were just trying to "contribute to
OpenStack" for the sake of it for an internship or the like. I tried to
explain that we were happy having volunteers and that they should ask
for meaningful tasks rather than spamming us, but they only seemed
interested into having things merged quickly and easily.
