I think eventually all OSS projects/repos will suffer with this.

My bet is that git hosting providers like GitHub etc. should start providing features to allow us for better signal/noise ratio

Why would GitHub develop features that are adversarial to one of Microsoft’s favorite products?
So that you pay for both.
Not even the mafia has it that good. You only pay them so they won’t beat you up. Imagine if you paid them to beat you up and then paid them to protect you from them.
That's how you profit
Learning from Cloudflare: Host malware and DDOSsers AND provide protection against them = $$$
I feel my question is naive in retrospect.
E.g. to secure the quality of training data?
Depends. I'm not suffering it at all, but I'm a sort of research project producing variations on audio processing under MIT license.

And I don't take pull requests: only exception has been to accomodate a downstream user who was running a script to incorporate the code, and that was so out of my usual experience that it took way to long to register it was a legitimate pull request.

Githubs owner is betting the farm on pushing slop, so that seems unlikely to happen there anytime soon.
They just need to offer you more slop to review the slop and give it a sloppiness score.
qemu & libvirt are already seeing a bunch of these. Here's a recent spammer sending AI slop reports:
