Maintainers Police AI Pull Requests

Open‑source maintainers are increasingly forced to detect and reject low‑quality AI‑generated pull requests, creating new moderation burdens and cultural friction in developer communities. That response is producing ad hoc norms (public calls, stricter contribution rules) and could prompt tooling or policy changes to distinguish human from AI contributions. — If widespread, this dynamic affects the sustainability and governance of critical software infrastructure and pushes debate over provenance, tooling, and labor for open‑source maintenance.
