DRAFT BALLOT OPTION
This option leaves open the question of whether (for example) a
maintainer must engage with LLM generated submissions.
It does so deliberately. Submissions should be acted upon by their
contents, not by the way they were generated.
For example, the src:dgit maitnainers regard LLM output as memetic
pollution, and do not want to read it. We do not want to review
LLM-generated code submissions, nor do we want to read LLM-generated
bug reports.
Even if they would help making your software better?
If someone were to file an LLM-generated bug report, or MR, or
something, we would probably close it, stating this (package-specific)
policy.
By ignoring a valid bug report, you're violating the social contract
which says that our focus is on our users.
Greetings
Marc
