So I had:
A: Choice 1: Ban LLM contributions from Debian via Social Contract
B: Choice 2: Allow AI-Assisted Contributions
C: Choice 3: Reject LLMs as far as practical, update Code of Conduct
D: Choice 4: Accept AI contributions for Debian specific work
E: Choice 5: Responsible Use of Generative AI
F: Choice 6: A cautious approach to generative AI
G: Choice 7: Debian is created by humans
H: Choice 8: Avoid the use of LLM; climate destruction is a deal breaker

That is, for optoins B, D, E, F and G I have used the text of the
proposer.

A didn't have a title, I've used the subject, added "via Social
Contract".

For C I've removed the "(generative "AI")", added "update Code of Conduct"

Option H was really long, so I made something shorter.

But the difference between B and D isn't really clear from that.
