I'm convinced that if you've actually done the legwork you could defend
the work you've done. If you're willing to go on the record saying you
_didn't_ use an LLM I'm even going to believe it.

But if someone's sending "critical security fix that needs security@
involvement" across a wide spectrum of places then yes, I'm going to be
highly sceptical they actually know what they're doing on any individual
one of the issues.

Like here. OK, this one didn't go to security@, and it's not even a
wrong fix, but doing "Cc stable", Cc'ing half the world and not
following up *at all* are all bad signs.
