A quote from Jannis Leidel

GitHub’s slopocalypse – the flood of AI-generated spam PRs and issues – has made Jazzband’s model of open membership and shared push access untenable.

Jazzband was designed for a world where the worst case was someone accidentally merging the wrong PR. In a world where only 1 in 10 AI-generated PRs meets project standards, where curl had to shut down its bug bounty because confirmation rates dropped below 5%, and where GitHub’s own response was a kill switch to disable pull requests entirely – an organization that gives push access to everyone who joins simply can’t operate safely anymore.
