I stumbled upon this repo entirely by chance! I went to his profile and clicked on a random project he has forked (of the 1.2K), and sure enough it had three still open pull requests of just typo fixes!

I think the story as he tells it is funny! Also if he had done this with actual active projects, rather than random, sometimes (or mostly?) personal projects, I think it would have gone a lot better for him!
