    I can't speak for the Foundation or NetBSD developers but as a
fellow user, I wonder whether there is a danger of LLM-based testing
distracting developers who already have plenty of code to review and
human-curated PRs to look at.

You mean, the human-curated PRs where randos manually submit LLM slop for review anyways?

I think a more official LLM review would be far better.

This wouldn't be the first, either:

* In the old day, we all ran Static Analysis on the source code; I've personally found and verified multiple bugs with the help of LLVM/Clang back in the day, before the wider adoption.

* Coverity used to offer this as a service to some OSS projects as well.
