I'm wondering whether the NSA will be granted access. It's already the largest collection of mathematicians on the planet and now they'd be given tools that could automate a lot of discovery. Or they're panicking that their "old faithful" back door will be patched soon.
Bad advice. If you're thinking this way and you don't think people will listen is it really better to just shut up? How about starting small and implementing fixes or starting with small refactors in the direction of a better code base? I have absolute autonomy at my current employer so it's a different world, I mostly ask for forgiveness rather than permission, but to just shut up? Weak.
I have bad news
I had always envisioned an institute for reproducibility & Peer review. It would be a federally funded institute that would require Phd candidate participation as an additional requirement to receive your degree. Really it wouldn't be a single place but office or team at each university where proper equipment was available and perhaps similar conditions for reproducing specific research. Of course the feasibility of this is pretty low.
