Show HN: A reputation index from mitchellh's Vouch trust files

Operating in show hn launch, A reputation index from mitchellh's Vouch trust files operates.

Profile

I was inspired by mitchellh's Vouch project, an explicit trust system where maintainers vouch for contributors before they can interact with a repo. Ghostty uses it to filter out AI slop PRs.Because Vouch exposes the vouch list as a plain text file (VOUCHED.td), I realized I could aggregate them across GitHub and build a reputation index. A crawler finds every VOUCHED.td file, pulls the entries, and computes a weighted score per user. Vouches from high-star repos count more than vouches from zero-star repos.Next step is to wire up an API so that the vouch GH action can start to use this data to auto approve contributors.

As a business in show hn launch, A reputation index from mitchellh's Vouch trust files is listed here with the public details available about it.

Directory data places it at the Show HN launch stage.
