90% of contributors won’t read it at all or only some parts of it and ignore the rest.
Most PRs you get solve some super specific individual problem and aren’t relevant for the wider community that uses your OSS.
It’s not their fault really but most contributions are so bad it doesn’t serve to spend any time on reviewing them earnestly.

In my case there is a monetised proprietary “enterprise” edition of the projects available. Contributions only get accepted if they fit into the commercial roadmap, which is shaped by the (paying) customer needs.
It’s not perfect but the OSS “community” edition is still usable and valuable to many
Examples, calculating something twice instead of pulling the calculation out of the loop (one case) or into a separate function so that 2 separated places where it's calculated don't get out of sync (a different case). Another might be using an let x; if (cond) x = v1 else x = v2 (which is 3-9 lines depending on your brace style) vs const x = cond ? v1 : v2. When v1 and v2 are relatively simple expressons. I haven't seen a checker that will find stuff like this.
Only syntactical styles. Style also include things like how I want errors to be propagated, how failures are to be handled, etc.
Nonmatching styles can be mostly solved with linting and static analysis
There’s no fix for bad code outside of manual review beyond that. But doing those things should significantly cut down on your noise.
