What is the *action* you are referring to? The DFSG team decided to use a tool to help them with reviews. They decided to share the tool's output with the uploader, so that the uploader can comment or use the tool's output to improve their package, if relevant, and if they chose to (there's no obligation to look at the tool's output). The only action I see is sending an email to notify uploaders of the availability of the tool's output, but this has been made opt-out. So, really, I don't see what's this all about, if it's not about bashing people that use LLM. Lucas
