- Summary: LWN reports Debian's General Resolution on LLM-assisted contributions reached a vote with eight ranked options, open until 2026-08-28. The options range from a Social Contract amendment banning LLM contributions outright to explicit permission with stated conditions.
- Why it matters: The amendment option needs a three-to-one majority, so the ballot structure decides the outcome as much as developer preference does.
- Follow-up: The result after voting closes 2026-08-28, and whether other distributions or forges follow the adopted position. Add the Debian vote page as a primary source, which did not resolve on this run.
