If you are talking about the issues that are automatically closed and marked as spam, the repository uses Github Actions, which can be found here. https://github.com/mdn/browser-compat-data/actions

The action that is fired when a new issue is created is Close Incomplete Issues
It's configuration can be found here.
https://github.com/mdn/browser-compat-data/blob/main/.github/workflows/close-incomplete-issues.yml

The action uses a helper script found here
https://github.com/queengooborg/invalid-issue-closer/blob/main/src/index.js

The criteria from that file are
const conditions = {
title_contains: core.getInput("title-contains") || undefined,
body_contains: core.getInput("body-contains") || undefined,
body_is_blank: !!core.getInput("body-is-blank"),
};
In my reading, this means that the title must contain content and the body must contain content. I admit I don't understand the body-is-blank part.
