This makes a lot more sense for large scale and high profile projects, and it eliminates low quality slop PRs by default with the contributors having to earn the trust of the core maintainers to contribute directly to the project.

it also increases the barrier to new adopters

why not use ai to help with the ai problem, why prefer this extra coordination effort and implementation?

I mean to well meaning contributors, I understand the goal of vouch, I think it goes too far and you'll turn off said well meaning contributors

I certainly have dropped off when projects have burdensome rules, even before ai slop fest

The barrier in the Ghostty project is to simply open a discussion. It's not really hard.

What about fixing a typo in a comment?

Do I have to start a discussion before I can submit a fix for a two char swap?

Also, my statement was general, why are you making it about one?
