Rony, Check emails that I started or replied too, from 1st March 2020 onwards. Probably up to about 10 separate email chains covering dependabot, java 1.6/1.7/8/11+, junit 4.13, junit jupiter, getting repo's in sync. So I wasn't raising pr's blindly, I was doing them in conjunction with email conversations...
