Relevant since we started outright rejecting agent-made PRs in awesome-selfhosted [1] and issuing bans for it. Some PRs made in good faith could probably get caught in the net, but it’s currently the only decent tradeoff we could make to absorb the massive influx of (bad) contributions. >99.9% of them are invalid for other reasons anyway. Maybe a good solution will emerge over time.


I’d like to see a project set up a dedicated branch for bot PRs with a fully automated review/test/build pipeline. Let the project diverge and see where the slop branch ends up compared to the main, human-driven branch after a year or two.
You should pitch this direct to someone running a project you use. I’m interested as well.
