"Rules for thee, but not for me" makes some sense for OSS maintainers. The maintainer may be comfortable using AI themselves but isn't interested in slop grenade PRs, especially if they accepted PRs fairly begrudgingly in the first place.

Perhaps but it does make the list less useful as a way to find ethical open source projects.

Often I'd rather have a good prompt than a PR. Easier to see the intent of the contributor.
