Slop PRs haven't been a big issue yet on my repo. What I've had has come from automated third party accounts that I could easily block. But now the call is coming from inside the house!

This would be a good moment to consider alternatives and moving. If the platform is supposed to help productivity and it just doesn't do that...
I'm sure you're aware of that, I'm just advertising the idea, because network effects.

in reply to daniel:// stenberg:// • • •Would requiring a specific mandatory wording to be included for personally submitted issues and PR's be a temporary work-around?
It should then be possible to filter out all submissions without this wording included to be dealt with as seems appropriate.

in reply to daniel:// stenberg:// • • •Everything else moved to GitLab right after M$ bought GitHub because I never trusted them.
And got proved right.
Will move the forks away and will probably also remove repos from GitHub.

if you cannot find the time to sit down and have 1 original thought then you should not be writing software.

in reply to daniel:// stenberg:// • • •according to the docs, the agent must first be enabled: docs.github.com/en/enterprise-…
So I think it's just a matter of not enabling it. Also, someone must explicitly request it to do something and it goes through a PR approval process as usual, following branch rules etc.
That said, I don't think I'd enable it myself. Copilot already makes a big mess with relatively simple tasks. Automating mess doesn't feel right to me.
