Unfortunately enforcing "human behind the push" would break so many automations I don't think it's tenable.

But it would be nice if Github had a feature that would let a human attest to a commit/PR, in a way that couldn't be automated. Like signed commits combined with a captcha or biometric or something (which I realize has its own problems but I can't think of a better way to do this attestation).

Then an Open Source maintainer could just automatically block unattested PRs if they want. And if someone's AI is running rampant at least you could block the person.
