Oh well, between you and Ansgar, the project really don't need any external party to troll it.

I will assume that your mail conveniently snips parts of the messages you read, or that you are really tired and just repaste the whole point : - Work assisted by a generative AI agent or tool should be marked as such in the adapted place (commit message, changelog, …). Some lightweight generative tools, such as tab-completion in Copilot, may be used without the contributor realising they rely on generative AI models; we therefore trust submitters to assess when this rule applies. When in doubt, add such marking; > Greetings Greetings > Marc -- Pierre-Elliott Bécue
