Well maybe we shouldn't then? Before LLMs some not just clueless but also malicious rando could've send a PR too. And the maintainers might've gotten burned out any and just said f-it and merged stuff randomly. I don't see how AI changed the calculation here much.
No reasonable maintainer would recklessly merge something he/she hasn’t reviewed. Well, those who blindly accept whatever AI outputs… perhaps it’s time for them to find another job.
Just because one offers software for free doesn’t mean there shouldn’t be standards.
That's an interesting use of the word 'job'. How much is the rsync maintainer paid?
My bad, I meant profession.

Before, there was a chance to spot it (and things like XZ Utils backdoor were rare), now it will be well hidden in the ocean of slop PRs.
