This is a person who requested contributors who is suffering under an onslaught of AI generated bug reports and people who know this project is in maintenance mode adding to that by making requests for QOL updates but who won't actually contribute to the project in any way. Using AI because you're overwhelmed sucks but I don't have the ability to step up and help. If you do, then by all means.

That was a nice detailed explanation. The description of the way the tests degenerated was really worrying. Even some boosters insist the tests need careful human oversight.

FWIW, Rsync dev has written this blog post from his point of view: medium.com/…/rsync-and-outrage-d9849599e5a0

Has anyone run the set against the recently added coverage support? Do we know if there where test cases for the CVE behaviour before the faulty patches were added?
