You can still submit a bug report and tell them exactly how you did it.

Unless it's hundreds or thousands of AI slop PRs each pretending "here's a bug I fixed it"

Can you? The announcement says "There will not be a separate process for submitting patches by other means. We do not want to create a shadow contribution system through issues, comments, email, or forks".

So I, as a human, describe in prose which changes I made to e.g. 20 files?

How is that in the spirit of fighting LLM slop?

Also, if I can do that, the LLM slop contributers can also ... do that.
