I noticed that a lot of the proposed new GUIs seem to be LLM generated and seem to be very recent projects. https://github.com/git/git-scm.com/pulls?q=is%3Apr+state%3Aopen+label%3Aproposed-new-gui

Personally as a user I'm most interested in "established" projects which are already used by many people, and which have been around for a while. I don't think the Git website's role is to promote every single Git project.

So this changes the guidelines to only allow projects that have been around for 3 years or more (honestly a pretty arbitrary number) and ask for some evidence that the project already has users.
