I suggested to use `Co-authored-by` for disclosing #LLM use in git commits like everyone else to #systemd. A maintainer was against the change, because it would clutter the #GitHub UI.
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/41056#discussion_r2923461122
I agree that tools like LLMs should not show up as contributors in the same list as humans. They should have their own stats in a repo.
We need a standard for disclosing used tools to create code or commit like LLMs, but also SSGs, Transpilers, decompilers or bots like depandabot.
