From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Does that mean the bug bounty program will come back?
Perpetual loop of “bounty encourages bad reports”, “canceled bounty”, “bug reports improve”, “bounty comes back”, “bounty encourages bad reports”…
bounty also encourages good reports. So your argumentation is that the bounty program is the reason why reports were bad lately? I don't think that is the reason and bringing it back will not make it that worse again.
Bounties bring many more reports, and many more of them are bad than they are good
It wasn't like that before Ai. And since rise of Ai, the quality went down and not only for bounties. So this is not a problem with bounties. Now that the quality of reports went up and is not much of an issue anymore, we can assume it will not an issue anymore with bounties coming back.
In short, bounties are not the cause of the low quality reports.
You're picking nits. The bounties still trigger them.
If they are getting valid findings with high quality reports from AI tools already, why would they do that?
