Seems like a natural next step is some kinda reputation system for a project’s contributors. If you’ve written 50 successfully merged PRs, you’re certainly less likely to make trash in any method. Create a mentorship heirarchy. It sounds very helpful no matter what. Then the people who have merged 0 PRs to the project will likely work harder too, since they know they will be at the most scrutiny

This is how they kill open source.
