The reason I resisted integrating this is it tries to draw too specific a line in the sand. Someone could rightfully read that and say they don't expect additional scrutiny because the entire series was not automatically generated. What I want to say is: the more automation your tool provides, the more scrutiny you get. Maybe: Expect increasing amounts of maintainer scrutiny on contributions that were increasingly generated by tooling.
