Thanks for making this clarification.  It's what I thought you were
asking for.

While I personally agree with many of the concerns expressed about what
we've seen so far in the way of LLM-assisted contributions, the
discussions here on debian-vote have made it clear to me that we are
nowhere near having a project-wide consensus on how to treat "AI" in=20
Debian.

That probably means a GR is premature, though discussing one may indeed
be the only way to advance our collective understanding of the issues.
If this GR goes to a vote soon, I am highly likely to vote any proposal
that does not allow per-maintainer or per-team decision making below
further discussion.
