GitHub is implementing new restrictions on pull requests and repository access to combat spam and low-quality submissions driven by AI-generated code. The platform is introducing submission caps, limiting issue creation to collaborators, and tightening security in CI/CD workflows while major projects like Godot are banning AI-generated contributions outright.
