I think it makes sense, both for this, and for curl.

Presumably people want this for some kind of prestige, so they can put it on their CV (contributed to ghostty/submitted security issue to curl).

If we change that equation to have them think "wait, if I do this, then when employers Google me they'll see a blog post saying I'm incompetent" changes calculation that is neutral/positive for if their slop gets accepted to negative/positive.

Seems like it's addressing the incentives to me.
