You're missing the point being made; auto-sending LLM-generated reviews to every person uploading to NEW (the "automated action" part) affects a lot of people since you will probably end up uploading a new package at some point in the future and the NEW queue is an integral part of Debian's infrastructure (the "large-scale" part). Hence, this is a "large-scale or automated project action[...] with broad project impact". It's not that this feature exists, the problem is that there was no transparency or prior discussion like with every other major change introduced to the project. (so, will this happen again?) Additionally, even though an opt-out was added after-the-fact, others have pointed out there is no way to disable this for teams (where the team's tracker.d.o or alioth-lists.d.n address is listed as maintainer and receives these mails). Search for "automated review" at [1] for instance.
