>The only thing we can tell with certainty is that the CPython project is allowing developers to use LLMs, either explicitly or implicitly by not having a clear policy that forbids it.
>Do you allow core developers to use LLMs for coding? What about regular contributors? For which kinds of tasks? Are there any tasks for which coding assistance is not allowed? Do you require contributors to declare if their contributions were made with the help of LLMs?

@hugovk I don't see the use case of contributing to the CPython repository mentioned in this page. It is unclear if the lack of mention means it is not allowed, or just that nobody thought about it yet and this page needs to be revised.
