So we're going to make fun of someone for... doing their job?
Goyal served as an Outreachy intern earlier this year, focused on the Linux kernel, where she worked on securing the kernel from surface attacks by making the kernel structures read-only. Since her internship, Goyal has continued this work with the support of The Linux Foundation’s Core Infrastructure Initiative.

It's absolutely sensationalist journalism to talk up her "340 patches" for the number's own sake, but that alone is not why she was given a scholarship. She got her scholarship because she proved she could work at a real job alongside other engineers at her internship. Doing grunt work to maintain the code against discovered vulnerabilities is a part of the job, and she's using her new opportunity to further her education.
“Having contributed to the kernel for a year now, I have developed a keen interest in learning the internals of the kernel,’’ Goyal explained in her scholarship application. “This training will definitely help me to develop my skills so that I can contribute to the kernel community more effectively.
She's not being boastful about adding consts. She recognizes that she's new to the team, and was only doing her job. Is that worth an internet crusade, as if she "built a clock"?
