MODERATORS
the most basic rule of thumb that should ALWAYS be held to is that a human has to take responsibility for the actions of a tool, computers cannot be held accountable.
A computer can never be held accountable, therefore computers must never make a management decision.
Rules about submissions and determining if a pr helps a project is a management decision. AI or automated tools can reject a PR if it fails to meet a human made rule (like failing to compile or breaking code standards) but accepting a pr to merge? That should be a human.
