[Development] AI-generated contributions to Qt

[Giuseppe D'Angelo]

Hi,

I see more and more patches in Qt being written with the assistance of 
AI tools. (For the sake of brevity, I'm putting everything under the 
same umbrella, from "LLM improved the English spelling in my commit 
message" to "this 10'000-lines patch is 100% AI product I didn't even 
review it")

Do we have a policy in that regard? Especially one for external 
contributors, who are supposed to honor the CLA, which (amongst other 
things) implies things like:

> Licensor represents and warrants that it or its Affiliate is the owner of the Licensor Contribution(s) and that it
> or its Affiliate(s) has the authority to grant the licenses thereto set forth in Sections 3.1 and 3.2 of this
> Agreement.

which is pretty much a gray area right now. (The CLA is under UK law.)

I guess that, since such patches have landed, we generally accept 
AI-generated contributions? Can we have a formal statement in that regard?


Thanks,
