I don’t contribute to open source projects (not talented enough at the moment, I can do basic stuff for myself sometimes) but I wonder if you can implement some kind of requirement to prove that your code worked to avoid this issue.
Like, you’re submitting a request that fixes X thing or adds Y feature, show us it doing it before we review it in full.
Yep, take a look into GitHub actions. Basically you can make it so that a specific set of tests are run every time a PR is opened against your code repo. In the background it just spins up a container and runs any commands you define in a YAML config file.

Tests, what you are asking for are automated tests.
Can that be done on github?

Better yet, don’t use GitHub!
