Is there anyone else getting these emails from some researcher asking me to do work for them?

"We are conducting a research study on memory leaks in real-world applications and would like to recreate the memory leak issue you addressed in your pull request." ... "We would be grateful if you could share any test cases, additional context, and insights to help us accurately reproduce the memory leak you addressed in your PR." ...

I have received three of them so far.

@bagder I've received emails from researchers who mass-scrap GitHub repositories asking me to discuss whatever I made on an open source PR or to participate in some survey. I've never replied to any of them.
