@danzin How would I know how significant is the part of the code that was generated with an LLM if there is no requirement to disclose every specific use? That is exactly the point I'm making in the article. I can guess that the use of coding agents is larger than those 8 commits, but because there is no disclosure requirement, I will never be able to calculate the percentage of code that was touched by these tools.
Again, if you are going to go down this road, you have to be transparent.

@miguelgrinberg I see your point, makes sense. I agree disclosure would help. One data point you might want to take a look at for your article is searching for "LLM" and specific tool names in issues and PRs. It's mostly core developers asking people not to use these tools as they're using them. But there are a couple of cases of contributors disclosing that analysis or coding was made or helped by such a tool.
