There are usually guidelines and maintainers that are in control of the project althat do control these things. That system has worked pretty alright traditionally, but it’s become more cumbersome now that anyone can generate garbage and basically automate “contributions.”
It means that real contributions get drowned out in the noise and the maintainers that have the final say in if a PR gets accepted or not get overworked.
It’s bad for everyone.
