Most projects have at least some expectation of the quality of contributions, but many of them do not automatically enforce these. This has a lot of bad side effects:
Many PR comments are about style rather than substance.
"But it works!" vs "But it's ugly!" ad nauseam.
Reviewers and contributors get increasingly angry and frustrated with each other.
Bike shedding every little thing rather than accepting a tool's presets.
The longer the situation goes on, the messier the process of introducing automation becomes. The diff gets huge, the potential for breakage increases, and the version history becomes a huge mess.

I like the idea of lampooning folks who are intense about bike shedding/formatting/prettification.
maybe something specific like:
"Semi-Colonoscopy - Add or remove 10,000 semicolons from other's repositories via PR."
"It's Pretty, Broken - Submit 100 Pull Requests that change reformat all code files without changing the logic."
