<p dir="auto" style="color: #3a383f; margin: 0px 0px 1rem;" align="initial">Only authenticated users can open a merge request on gitlab.rtems.org. That is the basis of your terms argument. A signature binds each commit instead of each push, survives outside this GitLab instance, and resists a stolen session. All of that says who. None of it says what the contributor claimed. Waiting for signatures does not fill that gap.</p>
<p dir="auto" style="color: #3a383f; margin: 0px 0px 1rem;" align="initial">The <a href="https://www.rtems.org/generative-ai/" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" style="margin-top: 0px;">https://www.rtems.org/generative-ai/</a> already requires the prompt, the model, the scope of the assistance, and a confirmation of legitimate access and no tool claiming copyright. Reviewers have to read that prose in every merge request if a contributor cares to fill it out. A commit message trailer adds no requirement. It puts the durable part in the repository.</p>
<p dir="auto" style="color: #3a383f; margin: 0px 0px 1rem;" align="initial">The contract state at commit time cannot be recovered from the tree. This holds for the AI declaration and for the GitLab terms, which are versioned outside the repository and can change.</p>
<p dir="auto" style="color: #3a383f; margin: 0px;" align="initial">With respect to the execution, I can create MRs for the DCO.txt and documentation updates.</p>
