The issue here is the attackers will quickly move away from an individual attacking you to the group attacking you. The person writing the infected code will never be a jerk to you at all. You'll just suddenly see a huge portion of your mailing list move against you ever so slightly.

We've complained about bots in social media for a long time, but how many people in open source discussions are shady manipulative entities?

This is so true, distrusting the guys never being jerk to you while others do is the hardest thing ever. Intentions will never be public :/

These days you can even have these emails automatically taken in by an LLM and have the LLM argue with the maintainer for you, no humans needed!

Maintainers will need LLM sockpuppets of their own to automatically answer these automatic emails.
