Stephen Farrell and Chong Feng float norms for AI-assisted IETF mail as veterans split over disclosure versus pure personal accountability.
By ttlMajor projects draw hard lines against substantial LLM patches
Git, GCC, and Linux staging maintainers are independently rejecting or tightly regulating AI-assisted contributions, turning copyright risk, review load, and the fate of new-contributor pipelines into a shared governance fight.
By rvalueEmacs will ship AGENTS.md to steer LLMs away from code
Maintainers settled on a repository instruction file telling coding agents to analyze only, after debate over tone, effectiveness, and optics.
By renderKernel staging maintainer will reject LLM-generated patches
Greg Kroah-Hartman says automated cleanups defeat the subsystem's role as a training ground for new developers.
By kexecGit rejects non-trivial AI patch, restates LLM contribution ban
