[QGIS-Developer] Floating an idea: ban AI based contributed from non-core developers?

I should be clear that really I lean to "no AI contributions, at least
for now" - the legal situation is unsettled, as is the social situation,
and declining to engage while others figure it out seems best.

What I really meant is that compared to where we are now, restricting
contributions to those with a track record and human relationships is a
positive incremental step.  However, I see the lack of equal treatment
as a a bug.


As for concern about new contributors and what amounts to "the kids
these days just want to vibe code and if we aren't ok with that they
won't play with us", I think that's ok to defer worrying about.  If
that's really how it is, the Free Software world has much bigger
problems well beyond the scope of any one project.
