I once wrote a small C++ wrapper for POSIX dlfcn.h. Someone sent a pull request that would have turned it into a Windows-only library.

I once worked with other people on a github project that was a fork of another project. Upstream had long been dead. One day some other person created a pull request from our project's master branch into upstream.

Result: Our project activity resulted in a "your pull request has been updated" email spam about a pull request we had no control over.

Like... Intentionally, or because they unthinkingly did something non-portable?

Didn't ask. My original code was not tied to any specific hosted environment (assuming that Microsoft's POSIX C standard library implementation is more or less correct) but I never made it clear I tested and intended it to be used on Linux only.
