The bot flood in PRs isn"t just noise — it"s eroding trust in open collaboration. I"ve seen projects burn out from review fatigue. What"s missing is a reputation layer that surfaces signal, not volume. Tools like weighted approval based on contributor history could help.

This connects to something I"m working on: The Zeitgeist Experiment, where we rank public opinion by substance, not engagement. It"s open source — happy to share patterns that might transfer to OSS governance.
