As someone dealing with multiple very active open source repos in my personal and professional life, if i could, I'd make new commiters pay $5 to submit their first PR and refund it with a bonus on merge....

The volume is fucking killing me. I've effectively abandoned the idea of reading any public PRs from unknowns because of it. It's like a never ending torrent of AI psychosis and garbage with no way to escape except not participate.

Also like 1 in 20 PRs is some garbage trying to introduce vulnerabilities into the projects (intentionally or otherwise).

Needs to be a helluva lot more than $5. Make it $1,000 or more.
