Maybe use idea from PGP/GPG which is web of trust where people are added based on others vouching for them.
To make it somewhat available others can join as well but for a fee and at the lowest level. The fee would be determined on amount of cunts.
If somebody would not follow rules they would be marked as not trusted but money wouldn't be refunded they would have to pay again.
The money could be used as donations to fund the project.
If there's somebody who couldn't afford those fees, they could still find someone who could vouch for them and bypass it.
While this kind of staking could deter bad actors, it might also deter casual contributors. If I just so happen to stumble upon a kernel bug and have a quick and easy way to report it, I'll probably do so. If you make me jump through a lot of hoops to first make a deposit, I might not.
