"What if 75% of the users are producing low value spam?" was not a question in Github's initial design, it was not meant to become what it is, it was a place by and for developers, and by design a very high trust environment.
I've seen people talk about doing to Github what they've done to Reddit -- things like allowing repositories to ban people by account age -- but really we should just abandon ship, give up. Making open source repositories "moderated" is going to be a whole other can of worms, though I guess that's kind of what they are now, since the owners spend a lot of time closing subliterate issues and pull requests
