GNOME contributor Jordan Petridis argues that LLM policies should shape social norms rather than micromanage workflows and drafts a policy barring LLMs from creating or modifying anything submitted to GNOME or hosted on GNOME infrastructure. The draft would require contributors to personally explain their changes and understand the problem space, forbid impersonating yourself through chatbots or agents, and warn that contributors may be asked to prove compliance or face a ban.
