Because the repositories were created today and contributed today, I wouldn't be totally surprised if the accounts are for the same person, and the changes are old versions of code they had elsewhere just to make numbers. They are likely the maintainer of the repository they contributed to, but on a different account.

I have seen elsewhere that there are repositories which are getting spam contributions. It's one of the reasons why I am reluctant to join in (though I have signed up). I don't want a genuine contribution to be lost in a swathe of spam.
