A lot of solutions have been suggested over the past few months, including those. They have drawbacks and it’s not how they want to run the project. ▶ this video
> the problem at hand is one of high asymmetry between the low effort to submit vs the high effort to review Hence the threat to shame publicly I suppose. Actually, Daniel Stenberg previously responded to this proposal the same way as me [1] (and maybe would still do). Coincidentally, I was reading your answer at about the same time as this part of the talk. [1] ▶ this video (via link )
Daniel Stenberg of curl gave a talk about some of what theyve been experiencing, mostly on the security beg bounty side. A bit hyperbolic, and his opinion is clear from the title, but I think a lot of maintainers feel similarly. “AI Slop attacks on the curl project” ▶ this video
last month curl developer Daniel Stenberg gave a talk "AI slop attacks on the curl project" : ▶ this video
Maintainer or curl gave recently a talk on AI slop in security reports, showing this and other examples: ▶ this video -- AI slop attacks on the curl project - Daniel Stenberg. Keynote at the FrOSCon 2025 conference, August 16, in Bonn Germany by Daniel Stenberg. Plus, linked above, his blogpost on the same subject link
