The risk of AI-assisted contributions that basically rewrite GPLd gnu
coreutils C code into rust is very real, and it has happened in other
projects, causing their complete derailment. Are you able to spot and
reject such contributions?

There's also a distinct lack of collaboration. Both projects obviously must
implement the exact same UI, and the only way to do it is to have a shared,
independent, rigorous test suite. Collin has explicitly said he is not
endorsing the use of GNU tests for uutils.

I'd also note that quietly skipping my points without saying anything about
them only means they remain unresolved.
