Debian polls its developers on whether to burn the bots, tame the bots, or let 'em loose
Summary
Debian is polling its developers on AI usage with eight proposals covering bans, conditional allowances, and governance for AI-assisted contributions. The proposals range from a full ban to permissive approaches with conditions, and voting thresholds vary by proposal; the piece also situates Debian in the broader OSS AI governance debate with references to Gentoo, NetBSD, and OpenBSD.
