Random GitHub Actions added to git/git???

This is only of interest to those who interact with the mirror of the public repository at GitHub, but anyway.

I was browsing https://github.com/git/git/actions and noticed that there are many "workflows", even though what we have in our source tree in .github/workflows/ define only two of them (which I consider "officially sanctioned ones").

I suspect that these other ones come from "pull requests" random people threw at us that never hit our tree, with changes to the .github/workflows/ directory in these PR.

I find them quite distracting.

Is this something the hosting site (GitHub) considers normal and helpful to the projects they host? Is there an easy knob to disable those other than what we have in our tree?

Thanks.
