alt Hacker NewsFrom https://curl.se/docs/code-of-conduct.html:
"As contributors and maintainers of this project, we pledge to respect all people who contribute through reporting issues, posting feature requests, updating documentation, submitting pull requests or patches, and other activities"
Why have a code of conduct while being hostile to contributors?
I think they should handle this differently.

They are not contributors, they are spammers. There is a difference. Do you reply to spammers with friendly greetings?
"Contribute" comes from the Latin con- "with, together" and tribuere "bestow". We need a new word for these slop submissions. "Detribute" might work well, for something that takes away from the common good, rather than adding to it.
With the extra work that LLM slop has been causing to core maintainers, I think they're quite friendly. Hopefully the volume of the bullshit they receive goes down once they stop paying bug bounties. The people who got upset that their hacker alias got called out for submitting bullshit LLM slop got what they deserve.
Perhaps because they are not really contributors, so it doesn't apply.

all curl team came here to downvote you, don't be so cruel :D
I don't think that telling a LLM to create a fake bug report is "contributing".
