> Why? In the end it's a patch's quality that counts. Regardless who or what contributed it.

You just said: The things that I think and care about matter more than the things that you care about.

is that what you meant?

Being honest, if we're talking about the health of any given project, the patch quality doesn't matter that much. Not when you measure it against the importance of consistency and continuity of a regular contributor. A thousand perfect LLM patches are less valuable than an experienced maintainer.

If your LLM is annoying them, and they quit. The perfect LLM patch just destroyed the repo.

People wasting others time is a social problem, not a technical one. Rate limits can't prevent somebody feeling disrespected.
