The reason I resisted integrating this is it tries to draw too specific
a line in the sand. Someone could rightfully read that and say they
don't expect additional scrutiny because the entire series was not
automatically generated.

What I want to say is: the more automation your tool provides, the more
scrutiny you get. Maybe:

	Expect increasing amounts of maintainer scrutiny on
	contributions that were increasingly generated by tooling.
