Did anyone just get a kind of spammy pull request on github from "travis4all"?
https://github.com/travis4all 1,334 repos and counting. Is this just a bot that is going through github and issuing automatic pull requests for all nodejs projects or what?

It's using the NPM registery in alphabetical order as all forked repo's have a package.json with a repository field.

I was wondering why Github sent me 50 emails today all starting with "Hello, ladies..."

It is one smart way of growth-hacking. I would not consider it spammy.

If you have access to 50+ repositories, it becomes spammy quite quickly..

He is trying to do a good thing, he's just not doing it in a good way.
A better way, would be to make a command line tool that let you
quickly add travis to a module, and then let you use it as you choose.
And maybe made ONE PR to your most recently updated module (not ones
you havn't touched in months)
And also, to provide an email so that people can give you feedback,
and to open source the bot so the people can fix problems like,
check whether or not the module in question actually has tests.
