I had a PR in flight that got closed because of this. I had an issue with passwords in the network applet for the VPN and had used Claude to help me identify and then come up with a fix. I did spend a lot time handcrafting and making sure the quality was good, but I respect their decision and no hard feelings, but as someone who have struggled to find time and opportunity to contribute to open source it was a small set back.

I found your commit and your usage of AI seemed reasonable. It seems to me like your PR itself and the subsequent comments and correspondence was also human written.

I think a PR "in flight" shouldn't have been closed like that.

All this will do is push out developers like you that honestly disclose, and instead people will now just lie.

What is actually the meaning of “handcrafting” here?
