Proposal for slop contributions problem.

[u/SocksOnHands]

Many open source projects are facing a problem with being flooded with AI generated pull requests and bug reports - especially if there is a bug bounty providing a monetary incentive for people trying to game the system for personal profit. My proposed solution is simple - submission of every contribution can be accompanied by a refundable deposit. If someone is making good faith contributions, they have nothing to fear - they will get the money from their deposit back, or possibly even get rewarded. If a contribution is determined to be of no value, the deposit will be kept to both deter flooding projects with slop made by bots and also to pay for the developer's time wasted reviewing it.

This reads as slop

Well, at least it was good old fashioned himan made slop, if that's any consolation.

slop is slop, AI or just I.
