I see this less as GitHub failing and more as open source evolving.
The current workflow is increasingly absurd: someone uses AI to generate a PR, I use a better AI to review it, then their AI and my AI go back and forth until we converge. Add AI-generated spam on top, and the human is mostly just acting as a router between agents.
I’d rather skip that entire loop.
Imagine you use a project and want a feature. You go to the repo and describe what you want. The project’s AI already knows its conventions, preferences, history, rejected ideas, and boundaries. It can immediately tell you whether the idea is likely to fit and what shape it should take.
If it makes sense, you press a button and the project’s chosen AI implements it, validates it, and presents the maintainer with the request and the code as one thing.
No separate issue. No PR ping-pong. No two AIs talking through two humans.
What AI still canot replace is taste: deciding what a project should be, what belongs in it, and where its boundaries are.
