Yes. That's why we need to employ AI to respond to those issues - maybe a little guided by maintainers (with minimising the effort needed by maintainers to assess it) - but without revealing that. That's what I am going to advocate for with my friends who are building OSS-friendly AI. Let the AI fight with each other :). J.
