Who would pay
Open source project maintainers and teams willing to invest funds to reduce maintenance burdens.
Current workarounds
Current open source projects see reduced external contributions due to heavy review burdens; a new maintenance mechanism to reduce human workload is urgently needed.
MVP idea
Develop a platform or tool that assists AI in auto-generating code based on requirements and test cases, with maintainers reviewing only the requirements.
How to validate
Pilot projects can verify feasibility and accuracy of AI-driven maintenance; risks concern quality and security of AI-generated code.
