The difference is that today this trust is local and organic to a specific project. A centralized reputation system shared across many repos turns that into delegated trust... meaning, maintainers sta…

The idea is sound, and we definitely need something to address the surge in low-effort PRs, especially in the post-LLM era. Regarding your points: "Threat Actors compromising an account..." …
