- Vouch Book is a cross-repo reputation index built from Mitchell Hashimoto's Vouch trust files across GitHub.
- Scoring is based on vouches in VOUCHED.td files, with weights derived from the repo's star count using the formula: ln(stars + 1) + 1.
- A vouch from a 0-star repo is worth ~1.0, from a 1,000-star repo ~7.9, and from a 50k-star repo like Ghostty ~11.8.
- Denouncements subtract at 60% of the vouch weight.
- A user's total score is the sum of all vouch weights minus all denouncement weights, with each appearance in multiple repos counting independently.
