Possible runaway AI agent spam (was: systemd-pcrlock.8: Some remarks and a patch with editorial changes for this man page)

[Ansgar 🙀]

Hi,

even after having banning Bjarni Ingi Gislason from the BTS, they
continue to send the same messages via different channels. It could be
a runaway AI agent or a human indistinguishable from such an agent.

There is no working communication channel to the operator as far as I
know. Nor any changes/corrections in the submitted messages.

The content is useless as it asks to patch generated files, but as it
is impossible to reach the operator of the bot, there is no way to
improve this.

Please consider banning them from Debian mail services.

Ansgar
