Why isn't the link directly to the github repository[1]?

After the economy of attention, no things enter the economy of trust.

Why in nushell? Not in go?

But I like the idea and principle. OSS need this and it's traded very lightly.

Simple as. He who is without sin can cast the first stone.

Reminds me fondly of advogato.

Problem 1 - assuming this Vouch tool gains wide adoption without major fuckups, I predict that a lot of people would "outsource" their own vetting to it, and it would become a circular system where newcomer would not be able to get vouched because everyone will expect others to do it.

Problem 2 - getting banned by any single random project for any reason, like CoC disagreement, a heated Rust discussion, any world politics views etc. would lead to a system-wide ban in all involved project. Kinda like getting a ban for a bad YT comment and then your email and files are blocked forever too.

The idea is nice, like many other social improvement ideas. The reality will 99% depend on the actual implementation and actual usage.

Can't believe they didn't call it VouchDB.
