Linux kernel policy requires that. Allows reviewers to go in with an understanding that the quality might not be great, I think?
At the same time, Linux kernel also requires that you understand the patch you send. So I'm also not quite sure why that policy exists.

@wouter@pleroma.debian.social The Linux kernel policy seems require it for "science reasons": ... proper attribution helps track the evolving role of AI in the development process. That seems not very useful like this though. For that purpose you probably want to also document *how* it was used exactly. Also I don't think it would be a valid reason to require it because the quality might not be great. If that was the reason then the only consequence of that should be to simply say that it's forbidden / discouraged to use.
