I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. But if it's that the identity mechanism on Gitcoin (aged github accounts) isnt perfect, then I think you're absolutely right.
I think a more important question is "are the round results valid?" Vitalik goes into this in his post - As Vitalik notes in his post, we are certainly reaching the limits of our existing identity framework as more money/users get involved.
Identity networks are a chicken and egg problem. My view is that Gitcoin being one of the first widely/actively used Ethereum products (https://gitcoin.co/results) we have a unique opportunity (and challenge/responsibility honestly) to bootstrap a DID network.
Gitcoin's approach thus far has been to stop collusion from unsophisticated actors, then progressively get more organized (as more money gets involved, and as we learn from each round) about stopping collusion from more sophisticated actors.

Here's some incremental improvements were gonna make in round 6: Identity - https://github.com/gitcoinco/web/issues/6549 Collusion - https://github.com/gitcoinco/web/issues/6548
