So I just wanted to point out that the Anubis fronting bugs.freebsd.org is
for AI crawlers that are heavily hitting our servers. We banned them
because we lack the resources to service them.

Code created with LLMs, assuming it meets the project's quality standards
and you can explain it in review, is not per-se banned at this time.
However, before submitting any large work, it's best to reach out to the
relevant people or maintainers to coordinate the effort. LLMs also tend to
be terrible at creating the right set of commits (not impossible, just
takes a lot of effort).

If you'd like a review, it might be better to submit a github pull request
and tag me. I'll do my best to assess it if you'd like and think it's ready.
