Isn't it extremely difficult problem? It's very easy to game, vouch 1 entity that will invite lots of bad actors

Indeed, it's relatively impossible without ties to real world identity.

I don't think that's true? The goal of vouch isn't to say "@linus_torvalds is Linus Torvalds" it's to say "@linus_torvalds is a legitimate contributor an not an AI slopper/spammer". It's not vouching for their real world identity, or that they're a good person, or that they'll never add malware to their repositories. It's just vouching for the most basic level of "when this person puts out a PR it's not AI slop".

That’s not the point.

Point is: when @lt100, @lt101, … , @lt999 all vouch for something, it’s worthless.

Real world identity isn't sufficient or necessary to solve that problem.
