I agree with a lot of things said in this article, I also think some sort of centralized trust system for OSS bug bounty would be a really good solution to this problem

> The downside is that it makes it harder for new researchers to enter the field, and it risks creating an insider club.

I also think this concern can be largely mitigated or reduced to a nonissue. New researchers would have a trust score of zero for example, but people who consistently submit AI slop will have a very low score and can be filtered out fairly easily.
