Re: Policy on use of LLM tools and bug fixes

Chris Albert provides an updated, public link to their GCC commits that include LLM assistance, after the original link resulted in a 404 error. Albert also provides a pastebin link with the same information. This is part of a larger discussion about the policy on using LLM tools and bug fixes in GCC.
