One name: Markus Elfring. Ever tried to reason with that one? Or Hillf
Danton, for that matter.

And I absolutely will refuse to take patches from somebody who would
consistently fail to explain why the patch is correct and needed. Sasha,
this is the elephant in the room: we *ALREADY* get "contributions" that
very clearly stem from "$TOOL says so, what else do you need?" kind of
reasoning and some of that dreck ends up in the tree. AI will serve as
a force multiplier for those... persons.
