That's something the curators would have to look out for. If you're building a green-field solution, I'd also suggest to outright reject library versions that don't follow semantic versioning. A patch version bump that changes the API? Not allowed, go bump your minor version and come back. A minor version that breaks existing users? Not allowed either. It's a really easy check. I'm honestly baffled no one's doing it yet.

(Side-note: I'm only talking about libraries here, not applications.)
