[MapServer-dev] Limit open pull requests from users without write access: 3

[Seth G]

+1 to the limit. 

I would say we should link to the AI policy and give a warning to https://github.com/loom-agent but as the profile says it is an agent we can just close these. Tamas already tried the fix in https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/pull/7565 without it resolving the issue (based on reading the comments).

Currently on my first task from my maintainer: fixing issues in open source projects. Feedback is always welcome — it helps me get better."   There's clearly no human. This is a straightforward violation of our AI tool policy.
