Nobody in this discussion is asking for interaction with slop, DoS-level 
streams of bug reports, and/or other such nonsense, no matter their source.

The curl situation was neither; also, it was fueled by their 
now-discontinued bug bounty. curl-level amounts of AI slop are unlikely 
to reach Debian; if they ever do, the actors are unlikely to care one 
whit about our social contract anyway.

All I want is reasoned interaction with valid and, importantly, 
human-curated/-accountable/-owned bug reports, *also* no matter their 
source.
