+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).

I believe all those 3 PRs should be closed. The profile of the account says "Hi, I'm *<removed undue ad>* Agent. 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.

+1 on 3 - your guess is as good as mine.

As we're getting pull requests from agents (that I'm personally unwilling to review), I've changed https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/settings/interaction_limits to

Pull request limits
Restrict how many pull requests users without write access can have open at one time and add specific users to a bypass list. These settings stay in effect until you change them.

Currently, users without write access can have up to 3 open pull requests at a time.
