this one's easy. Have a policy against GenAI contributions. Maybe there will be dishonest contributors. If you catch them you use all the tools of open source reputation (conversation, bans, etc). Just like always.
Holding people to standards is a problem for open source, but not a new one. People could be contributing closed source code and nobody would be able to tell. Open source has always relied on some level of trust.

@peter_mcmahan@mas.to @maxheadroom@hub.uckermark.social @tante@tldr.nettime.org this is what i was hoping would happen with the KDE discussion at https://discuss.kde.org/t/sorry-to-bring-up-a-contentious-topic-kde-ai-llm-policy/46333 (set a policy and enforce it as much as possible) but it seems like they took the opposite stance of "we can't ever know for sure if people are using it, so there's nothing we can do." kind of a bummer really
