Speaking as someone who actually does fix random PRs, I think voting
would be useful. As everyone else has said, it obviously would not be
any sort of guarantee.
Right now my random PR fixing is driven mainly by the list of PRs
reported against 3.4.0 (there are only five remaining 3.4.0 PRs in the
search which I use; right now I'm slowly poking at PR 14400).
