Thanks to everyone for their input.  I have been editing the draft in direct response, as you'll have seen.  

Moritz would like to make it non-LLM-specific, and helpfully offered some concrete wording.  But I think we really do need something that tackles LLMs head on.   (I tried to say "we value the contribution, regardless of how it was produced", although I know that is not really satisfying to you.)

Moritz thanks for the "no right to review" draft. I adapted it to give it a more positive spin -- see under "Human conversation".

Some would like a briefer policy, and I see merit in brevity.  But there is a lot of nuance here, as we can see in the debate, and my (fairly strong) preference is to value clarity, precision, and explicitness over length.

I'm grateful that a few people with strong opinions have generously said (I am paraphrasing) "It's not what I really want, but it's a reasonable basis to move forward".  That's what I meant about disagreeing agreeably.  We all truly want to work together, even though our views differ.

We may well want to iterate the draft in the light of experience.

I think we may have reached the point of diminishing returns, where we can freeze the wording for now.   Would you like to take a last look at the current state, and say if there are any drafting changes you'd like to make?

Thanks!

Simon

Given that I have way more strong opinions on this, I cannot get behind
this policy. That said, if the goal is to somehow move forward with more
or less everybody still on board, then we likely don’t have any
considerably different option than using this policy that Simon
proposes. Maybe it would be a good next step to just adopt it for now
and check in a year how things have been going.

All the best,
Wolfgang
