That sounds pretty much exactly as what I was stating in our meeting. That is, it is OK to submit a patch written with AI but you must disclose it. It is also the right of the Maintainer to refuse to take any patch that was written in AI. They may feel that they want someone who fully understands what that patch does, and AI can cloud the knowledge of that patch from the author. I guess a statement in submitting-patches.rst would suffice, or should it be a separate standalone document? -- Steve
