AI has slashed the cost of creating open-source contributions.
Global tooling hasn’t caught up.
This mismatch is now structural.
GitHub and GitLab were built for:
• human-scale output
• implicit trust
• manual review
They coordinate code, but they cannot handle context, accountability, or maintainer load.
As AI output skyrockets, maintainers hit a hard limit.
The result is predictable:
• PR floods
• Maintainer burnout
• Defensive shutdowns
• and even DDoS-like attacks on repos caused by the sheer volume of low-value PRs.
Mature projects are already reacting:
• tldraw closes external PRs
• cURL rejects low-quality and AI-generated PRs
• Homebrew locks repos during Hacktoberfest
• Prisma enforces “discussion first”
• Rust projects pause external contributions
These are stopgap measures, because existing global tools fail at AI scale.
Andamio solves this problem at the infrastructure level.
It provides:
• guided, contextual contribution paths
• verifiable contributor reputation
• graduated access and accountability
With Andamio, repos stay open, scalable, and safe.
AI contributions stop being noise: they become high-quality signal.
Open source doesn’t need more AI code.
It needs trust infrastructure that can survive AI.
Andamio is that trust infrastructure.
