Manually making PRs to all 50k+ R package GitHub repos without continuous integration built in would not be possible. Could create a bot to identify these repos and make a PR (or at least post an Issue) on all of these.

Would want to prioritise R packages that are currently only distributed through GitHub. This info can be gathered with echogithub::r_repos.

Helpful tags on GItHub for finding these packages systematically:

https://github.com/trending/r
https://github.com/topics/r

Creating a GitHub App might be helpful as well:

API for listing public repos:
