So Google is seemingly updating reCAPTCHA (the most popular bot detection method on the web since forever) to require a phone running either iOS or a Google-sanctioned Android OS.

Fossier – GitHub spam prevention for open source repositories

Fossier는 오픈소스 GitHub 저장소에서 스팸 PR을 자동으로 차단하는 GitHub Action 도구입니다. 신뢰된 기여자는 자동 통과시키고, 미확인 기여자는 13가지 신호를 기반으로 스팸 확률을 점수화하여 자동 허용, 검토, 차단을 결정합니다. AI가 공동 작성한 커밋도 자동으로 거부할 수 있으며, 대량 PR 제출 시 플러드 감지 기능으로 즉시 차단합니다. 유지보수자는 CLI를 통해 평가 결과를 디버깅하고 신뢰 목록을 관리할 수 있습니다. GitHub 워크플로우에 쉽게 통합 가능해 오픈소스 프로젝트의 스팸 관리에 실무 적용 가치가 높습니다.
