In the meantime, you could reduce some of your unwanted pull request volume by including a CONTRIBUTING file (ie: "Don't."), and adding a prominent note to the README also summarizing the contributing guidelines. You can find out more here:

Thanks for the feedback! Please let me know if you have any other questions.
