This makes me a bit sad. Over the years I've posted PRs to several, but not many, repos with a one-off fix, issue or improvement. It's a great opportunity to say hello and thanks to the maintainers.
I opened a 1 letter typo fix for NextJS not that long ago and had the same thought run through my mind beforehand. I (obviously) decided to just do it anyway and let people think what they want, who cares.
I know my intention was simply fixing a typo I stumbled on while reading the docs..and the effort level is so low to open a PR to fix it
Didn't want to be seen as just padding my github.
