An easy fix for GitHub is to clearly mark which PRs and comments are done via the web vs the API. This will let people at least have some idea.

...but, like, why even offer an API at that point? Now every API-initiated PR is going to be suspect. And this will only work until the bots figure out the internal API or use the website directly.

Uh... i think Graphite (yay, stacking!) uses the API pretty heavily.

yep we do! another big use case for it seems to be big enterprises for their own internal tools - we see this a lot with our largest customers.

but the OSS use case described here is a pretty different case, what OP suggested may still be useful there
