## Summary

Vouch is a contributor trust management system that requires explicit vouching before users can interact with project resources. It provides GitHub Actions integration and a Nushell CLI for managing vouched and denounced users through a simple flat-file format. The system supports web-of-trust functionality where projects can share trust decisions, and offers flexible policies for controlling who can contribute based on community vouching.
