Hey Jarek, Thanks for bringing this to our attention. When you talk about flooding, how many are we talking about? I see some suspicious issues (eg, here <https://github.com/apache/iceberg/issues/12039>), but not many. I hope this will come to a halt soon because it all additional work, and we also want to make sure that we don't accidentally close issues that don't come from a bot, but just a newcomer to the project.
