My e-mail was not about the GNU policy. I also did not address it to you
Eli. In fact I was very clear that I support whatever decision will be
made by GNU.
I am sorry to hurt your feelings, yet it was you who accepted obviously
something so suspicious that is contrary to whatever you are trying to
impose there. If you wish to handle things privately, then you could do
so with the developer right?
My e-mail was not about GNU policy, but about the obvious lack of
integrity on the list: somebody submitted the LLM generated patch, and
then self-certified it, and you accepted it. And it is obviously not
possible to verify that self-certification.
No matter how much you may try to squeeze me to put on "moderate", it
doesn't change the fact that it was weird. So moderate as much as you
wish. God thanks everyone can have their own website and exercise speech
on other places.
Excuse me that I have personal expectation and higher attitude on how
such incidents should be handled, while I do not doubt your technical
skills at all.
Continue the good work,
Louis

Yuan says the Claude attribution was "just a comment" and the code was
"written by hand." The emacs-devel list has accepted his word. But the
simple fact remains: a proprietary LLM's name is stamped on a commit
in
Emacs master. It's now in the permanent git history. Yuan claims the
code itself is clean — but we have no way to verify that, and he's the
same person who put the LLM attribution there in the first place. His
statement is naturally tainted by his own action.
[...]
Once again, please stop discussing GNU policy on this list, it is
off-topic here.
In general, the discussions among the Emacs maintainers regarding
procedural issues such as this one are posted here just for letting
others know; we would appreciate if everyone else except the
maintainers and the people directly involved in the incident -- in
this case, only Yuan -- will remain silent listeners, and let us do
our job to resolve the problem at hand.
Please don't force me to set the "moderation" flag of people who keep
posting about these issues disregarding my repeated requests not to do
so.
TIA
