If maintainers of open source want's AI code then they are fully capable of running an agent themselves. If they want to experiment, then again, they are capable of doing that themselves.

What value could a random stranger running an AI agent against some open source code possible provide that the maintainers couldn't do themselves better if they were interested.

Exactly! No one wants unsolicited input from a LLM, if they wanted one involved they could just use it themselves. Pointing an "agent" at random open source projects is the code equivalent of "ChatGPT says..." answers to questions posted on the internet. It's just wasting everyone involved's time.
