There are services like ORCID exist for uniquely attributing papers to an author. I think a federated review / publishing service could just provide a number of integrations for credential linking.
I was thinking about how such a tool might work over activity pub and I think it could work.
79-95% cheating by source code look up, I sure hope these tools are not used in proprietary codebases attempting to reimplement anything GPL-like. Can’t wait to see the justification contortions of oh it’s fair use because my bot literally copy pasted the code, and the poor thing doesn’t know any better.
