I’ll rewrite that part; this wording made sense for the initial draft,
much less for this version.

I think you are referring to point #2 of the “Policy” section:
2. **Contribution acceptance.** Contributions produced in whole or in
part by genAI MAY be accepted provided the changes are not
[“legally
significant”](https://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Legally-Significant.html),
to avoid any risk of copyright infringement.
As a rule of thumb, this includes code less than 15-line-long, or
package definitions that are evidently not creative, similar to
those that `guix import` and similar tools might produce.
GenAI-produced contributions that do not meet this criterion will
be rejected.
I think it addresses what you’re talking about, except it doesn’t
propose a “ban” on contributors (which I think would be questionable).
Could you propose a different wording, if you think it’s unclear?
Thanks,
Ludo’.
