You should remove the hacktoberfest topic to prevent people from being misled into thinking PRs made to this repository will give credit towards the 4 PRs needed to get a tree/shirt.

See the bottom section of https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/resources where it says:

Bad repositories will be excluded.
We've seen many repositories that encourage participants to make simple pull requests – to quickly gain a pull request towards winning. While these projects may be a valuable learning tool for new contributors, they often aren't valuable and high quality contributions to open source projects, and go against one of our core values for Hacktoberfest.

Some examples of projects that don’t follow the values of Hacktoberfest include:

Projects asking contributors to add their name or profile information to a list

Projects asking contributors to submit assorted data structures and algorithms (DSA)

Projects asking contributors to curate arbitrary lists of quotes, interview questions, etc.

Thanks @nightlark for telling this. I did not know this
