As an open source maintainer, I can chime in on this.
With TxtAI, I've seen a large uptick in PRs (https://github.com/neuml/txtai/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aclosed+s...). While the extreme verbosity of Claude messages and commits is very annoying (plus the constant defending itself on why it's a bug), I do think it's a positive that more people are enabled.
It does require reviewing the PRs. Some can be tricky just like a human. For example I did merge this PR (https://github.com/neuml/txtai/pull/1136) and it would have completely broke search. But a human could also do that.
From an open source standpoint, I say the more the better. You just have to be willing to do the work to review and no not just having AI agents to review what the AI agents are submitting. There still needs to be a human in the loop, if you care about quality.
