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

Its trivial for ai to successfully merge 50 prs into the projects of other ai.

It be frustrating for a beginner that every time they try to contribute they are ignored because they have yet to contribute.

Web of trusted peers maybe? Honestly beyond AI not all contributions, no matter how helpful, are equal as a metric. That is to say linus torvolds himself might not be the best guy for contributions for UI changes to Genomic research tool. Clearly VERY reputable on a massive OpenSource project, but not in related work (as far as i know for the stupid example i made up).
