I would rather some sort of authenticated peer-rating system. If someone has a history of making good, useful bug reports- then convey that in some way to project maintainers reading bug reports.

GitHub is in a good position to do this at scale.

I'm afraid any peer-rating system would be suspectible to same kind of point-manipulation other platforms are prone to, slightly increasing the latency but not the amount of spam. Returnable tokens worth real money would make this category of attacks completely infeasible
