Ah, we have converted a technical problem into a social problem. Historically those are vastly easier to solve, right?

Spam filters exist. Why do we need to bring politics into it? Reminds me of the whole CoC mess a few years back.

Every time somebody talks about a new AI thing the lament here goes:

> BUT THINK OF THE JUNIORS!

How do you expect this system to treat juniors? How do your juniors ever gain experience committing to open source? who vouches for them?

This is a permanent social structure for a transient technical problem.

"Juniors" (or anyone besides maintainers) do not fundamentally have a right to contribute to an open source project. Before this system they could submit a PR, but that doesn't mean anyone would look at it. Once you've internalized that reality, the rest flows from there.
