This came up recently when a user opened a large number of issues (>45) in an hour, as the result of LLM analysis. This wasn't ideal, and we asked them to report as a single issue, in the same style @devdanzin has been doing (and has been working well for us). As such, I propose we document this so that we can link to it if this happens again.

I'm not sure if we should be encouraging any form of bulk reporting, even via single issues.

It's still a lot of work for us to churn through, bulk findings are likely found via tools and not from actual real-life use, and we probably don't really need to fix them all?

I agree @devdanzin has been finding useful stuff, although he got in touch first to ask how (or whether) to report. But I think this is an exception rather than something to encourage as policy.
