I mean, aren't you kind of proving the poster's point?
Fork away. If you want to put in the meaningful effort required to maintain and improve upon a project as significant as Godot, and feel that AI is a mechanism you want in order to do so, go for it. Clearly, the maintainers don't feel that that's the best approach to create the product they want to create, and they are not required to accede to the sense of entitlement of the community.
Even before AI it was trivial to setup a continuous merge script. I did that several years for several projects which refused my PR's.
Nowadays it's even more trivial.
And a community is more of a burden than an advantage nowadays. Users are ok, but a community not so. See python, perl, ruby, node and countless others.
