Hi,

It was nice trying but I believe we can close the experiment as a 
failure. At least I personally cannot deal with the mental consequences 
in term of reviewing. To make it short, I believe humans aren't designed 
to be at the receiving end of LLM generated content. This is a too 
unnatural relationship. More details in this thread: 
https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/qgis-developer/2026-April/068204.html

So what to do now... ? Personally I believe I'll give up on reviewing 
LLM generated PRs. If there are other devs with merge rights who want to 
give them a try, please raise your arm. Otherwise, if there are not, 
we'll have to revise the policy to better reflect our wishes and abilities.
