Could you elaborate?
There was recently an online outrage over AI use in rsync which included harassing the maintainer up to wishing for them to die. This was started because the commit messages included attribution to a LLM service. Not including those attributions would have made it less likely. I don't think we should require contributors to expose them to this additional risk. So including such attributions should be a free choice. Ansgar
