`cargo-semver-checks` and its associated projects are always on a maintainability precipice. Several prior SemVer linters were abandoned over maintainability concerns, since it's so hard to support the entire community's use cases, platforms, workflows, and overall needs. Maintainer time is always limited. Allocating that limited time to low-quality AI-generated contributions made in bad faith to game GitHub metrics is not in the best interests of the Rust community or this project. This policy proposes to exclude such contributions, and any future contributions from the same authors, from any consideration, review, feedback, or explanation. Put simply: if no meaningful human time or effort was invested into preparing a contribution, we will refuse to spend any meaningful human time and effort in reviewing it.
