Thanks for the contribution but we’re not interested in adding more badges to our readme.

@alex this person tried to open this exact PR against a project I'm the maintainer for as well (https://github.com/ixmatus/inflector/pull/16). This is a promotional campaign and they (or colleagues) appear to be doing it on reddit too, I think this is suspicious activity. They are creating an external dependency on a web property that (as far as I can tell) is not officially blessed by pypi. I think rejecting their PR was a good choice.

Users can get package statistics from libraries.io which is linked to directly by pypi itself.
