GitHub is full of repositories that already do that. Crypto-scammers would be stupid to target such a visible project as the kernel.

That aside: I think it's a problem for GitHub (or whichever alternative) to solve.

They already kinda solved it—for their own GitHub Actions—by requiring manual approval of CI runs for first-time contributors.

And this made first-time contributors not have immediate feedback on their contributions anymore unfortunately - they have to wait until someone comes around and locks it up for them.
