David,

My previous message was meant to build on your position.  Thank you for
clarifying your position.

That=E2=80=99s entirely your decision as the maintainer of libobjc2, and I =
expect
contributors to respect the policies of the projects they=E2=80=99re contri=
buting
to.

I=E2=80=99ll make sure everyone understands that AI-generated reviews or an=
alyses
should not be submitted for libobjc2. If someone believes they=E2=80=99ve f=
ound a
genuine issue, they=E2=80=99re welcome to investigate it independently and =
submit a
report that they can personally explain and defend.

Thanks for making your expectations clear.

Yours, GC
