[python-committers] Issues with hundreds of commits being opened and closed -- what's going on?

Occasionally I receive a sequence of emails from GitHub where a PR is
requesting my review by some user, the-knights-who-say-ni responds with a
CLA request, and then Bedevere closes it, without comment. Latest example:
https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/5693

This seems to be some kind of user error -- the GitHub description is
typically something like "<user> wants to merge 398 commits into master
from 3.5". But this happens so frequently I would like to prevent this user
error from happening in the first place.

Does anyone understand what these users are doing that causes such PRs to
be created?
