The problem is, that FOSS devs get spammed with a 1000 times the same bugs found by the same tools put into a bug report with no human oversight by people who have no clue what they are doing and often dont give an answer on how to solve the problem.
My idea was to use AI to identify the 1000 bug reports about the same issue and make sure that you don't have to read every single one of them. That way you could sort out the spam and reduce the amount of slop the devs have to deal with.
