Today was the SuperTux 0.7.0 release (yay!), but some of us were alarmed by the "Claude contributed to this repo" message on GitHub (oh no!)

Well, I've learned a few things from the discussion about this topic.

A single PR "co-authored by Claude" has slipped through. The code was written by a human (according to the commit), then properly reviewed and eventually merged by a maintainer. The Claude contribution is attributed solely to the code comments added through a mid-PR-flow commit update.

And now the commit history will show Claude as a contributor. It might be impossible to rewrite it. Rewriting kind of goes against the idea of having the git history, too. Even if that was possible, it's an extra effort which not all maintainers can prioritise.

So: seeing "Claude was here" in a GitHub repo is a "red flag", but it shouldn't be "therefore guilty of slop and LLM proliferation by default"; please use your head/best judgement.

I guess it is a cautionary tale for the maintainers, too
