I just noticed that Manjaro’s Forgejo instance code.manjaro.org is full of incongruent empty repos. Have the admins noticed it?
Explore - Forgejo for Manjaro: Enjoy the simplicity
Edit: I find out why the spammers create the repos. They create spam pages in the wiki of the repos.

I thought the new sign ups are not allowed? @philm to check it up. Or maybe it is the openid login?

It looks like these users need to be banned.
Is this a case of diverting traffic/free hosting because they can?

Seems like so.
This one is also a good bookmark

Anyway, it has to be cleaned. And the registrations closed without verification, as it always was.
The Manjaro Team knows about it — they are Russian spam bots — but in “good” Manjaro tradition, only @philm has root access and can do anything about it.
Things seem to be fine now. Good!
