The overwhelming crush of two bug reports a week for a critical piece of software used on nearly every server anywhere? I understand it's a volunteer project, but keep it in perspective.
This isn't even a tech problem, it's a damned contest and not enough volunteers problem. Charge an entry fee, FFS, a deposit. How about farm it out to the community, validate a winning entry and you get part of the winnings. We do this on Slashdot for free, now split part of the bounty with the moderators.
That's all before technical solutions like duh, use a strong model to vet entries. Pay for it out of entry fees. Require submissions pass an automated regression test first. Which they should already have... and pay for use of it with entry fees, wait, pay for it out of the winner's pool, what are we giving that money away for if you can't run the program successfully without it?? Vetting submissions is part of the overhead.
A way bigger pet peeve of mine than beating on AI straw men is treating social problems like technical challenges. It's a contest with cash prizes and the volunteers are tired.. I mean figure it out folks.
