Anti-LLM Sentiment Considered Harmful
I want to test the waters by adding LLM Contribution Policy in my own packages from now on.

As stated, add contribution policy and provide extra clarification for LLM usage
I would not add it anywhere I maintain but start with those packages that I built (there are not so much external contributions anyway).
If some bits resonate with you, feel free to re-use, modify and/or refer to it.
Personally I consider myself being very bad at predictions, so instead I would like to offer its very early draft. In the future I would like to see more researchers on community sentiment, mental state of maintainers, “density” of the generated code included in open source, funnels (such as opened/declined/reviewed/merged/closed/released/etc. requests) or any other researches happen. By requesting this information from contributors in semi-structural way in advance, we can collect more insights and later evaluate them.
(I do not have a strong opinion about LLMs as of now. I am still experimenting with them, with both positive and negative outcomes, without any strong conclusions yet. (I also noticed, it is hard to make conclusions, they became outdated in a blink of an eye))
