Hacker News story: Ask HN: Do you allow vibecoded submissions in your open-source projects?

Ask HN: Do you allow vibecoded submissions in your open-source projects?
This happened to me, and it's about to happen again soon. Someone has submitted a 4k-line PR to one of my projects. The person is a long-time user and is very enthusiastic about the app. They wanted a feature they've been asking about for half a year. Not sure what to do now. I really want to help my user, but I don't like this code in my codebase. This morning, I received another message from another user who is about to submit one more feature. Is there any polite way to prevent that? 2 comments on Hacker News.
