Vouch is a new system by Mitchell Hashimoto designed to help open-source projects manage the influx of worthless AI-generated pull requests. It works by requiring users to be 'vouched' by existing contributors before they can contribute, and allows for problematic users to be 'denounced' and blocked. Integration is simple via GitHub Actions, and the system is forge-agnostic, leaving the criteria for vouching up to individual projects.
