[gdal-dev] RFC111 AI/LLM tool policy: proposal for a significant revision

[Chris Toney]

Possibly a lot. As a regular observer of the repository that's not my
impression at all. True a large number of PRs are by Even. Also true, so is
a substantial amount of review, especially (if not entirely), of
"difficult" PRs that take large review effort. Sustainability is a major
concern IMO.
