The latest proposed policy explicitly forbids sending AI text
to people:

### No AI-written text must reach maintainers

These rules apply when publishing AI-assisted work to GitLab or the mailing 
list:

- **AI-written cover letters and commit messages are banned**.  These are
  easy to recognize and waste reviewers' time.
- **AI-generated responses to reviewer comments are banned**. This undermines
  the human-to-human interaction fundamental to code review.
- **AI-written issue ("work item") descriptions or comments are banned**. These
  are verbose and waste triagers' time.
