Are most of these replacements the work of Peter Todd? Many of them seem to be increasing fees by the same amounts.
Yeah, most of them are from OpenTimestamps. There are a few non-OP_RETURN though: https://fullrbf.mempool.observer/no_opreturn/

Thanks! That's a very useful page.

Yes. OpenTimestamps has four public calendars that do transactions to get timestamps into the blockchain. To find optimal fees, those calendars do repeated RBF replacements with higher and higher fees. I run two of those four calendars, https://alice.btc.calendar.opentimestamps.org/, and https://bob.btc.calendar.opentimestamps.org/, and on those calendars I modified the code to do full-rbf replacements.
On the Alice calendar, I'm also paying very high fees (up to 0.01BTC at the moment) to serve as a bounty for miners running full-rbf: https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2022-November/021143.html
I've gotten a few hundred in donations for that bounty, and I'll keep running it until it runs out of money. It's not a lot of money in the context of a mining pool. But maybe it'll help take the sting out of the hate mail full-rbf miners get. :D
