Will they hire the actual maintainers of the software in question, to have time dedicated to the project, or will they as usual, dump AI-generated patches unto maintainers, but this time with even more time pressure to merge, lest them consider projects “unmaintained” if they don't push a fix in 3 femtoseconds, and use it as a rationale to take over the project?

I'm pretty sure it'll be an AI dump fest with barely any humans except the long term maintainers having to cope with it all.

I mean, it won't be neither the first nor the last slopdump, but it's the first that's backed by a threat of project takeover.
“Maintainers of last resort”, my [back].
