    Not a single mention in the README of how the profiling works and what signals it responds to.

    This is likely to just exclude new contributors and damage the pipeline for beginner programmers to get mentored and become contributors.

    If what you really want is to shut out AI contributions then there must be much more inclusive and human ways to do this.

      I looked at the code and noticed it’ll red/yellow flag you depending on how much personal info you made public on your github account, 0 being red flag and >3 yellow flag.

      It’s not the only factor but it tells me it’s not worth much as a tool, not everyone likes to make their info public while spammers can easily fake it.
