Ok, I just searched their codeberg for the word “fuck” and both (yes, exactly 2) closed MRs were, in fact, heaps of LLM puke with no engagement from the “author”. More importantly, both of these were created after the policy was posted.

I think your argument is nonsense. Post evidence if you have it, but I’m guessing you won’t.

Why are you so sure this is “revisionism”? They’re not trying to rewrite history, they’re trying to explain their staunch policy.

It’s their project, and if they want to carefully select contributors they think will stick around and be a member of the community, then that is entirely their prerogative. This is a viable model for a niche project. There’s no requirement that they invest time and energy to review and integrate every last PR.
