I stand by what I wrote earlier in the discussion: I will of course
respect the outcome of the GR, and reconsider my Debian contributions in
the light of it (probably stopping my contributions if some options
win, because I don't think I'll find the motivation to continue).

But in the meantime, I don't see why I should respect a rule that does
not exist yet.

Also, in this specific context,
1/ I am interested in closing this topic as soon as possible. There is a
summer project for Debian I wanted to work on that I haven't touched
yet, both cause this discussion ate most of my computer time, and
because it would not make sense to work on it and then discover that
it's not welcomed (because AI-assisted).
2/ I would have been totally fine with Kurt ignoring my email, or answering
"no sorry no LLM output for me".
3/ It has been interesting to me to understand how devotee works[1] in the
process.
