Comments on “AI Contributions to GHC”

3 judges. Scored by all three judges. Only the day’s top stories get the claim check. How far stories are checked

Hrih News covers GHC's new policy for LLM-assisted contributions to the Haskell compiler. Contributors may use LLMs but must take full responsibility for submitted code, explain it clearly, and disclose any direct generation, while writing the final version themselves is recommended rather than required.

Read the original at serokell.io. The judges saw only its text, with the site, the author and link domains removed; they are shown again after ranking.

Why it ranked

No. 91 of 127 with a score of 0.59. The panel rated it highest on new information (0.83) and reader interest (0.72), lowest on audience breadth (0.48). Placed No. 91, No. 84 by score alone: the 38th AI & machine learning story of the day (−0.080). The placement terms move stories; they are not part of the score.

AI judgeJudge 2claude-haiku-5-5
Analysis of GHC's LLM contribution policy with substantive policy detail and comparisons across projects; relevant to builders and maintainers, opinionated, partly self-interested by authors' employer, moderate significance.
AI judgeJudge 3gpt-5.6-luna
A detailed, evidence-rich analysis of GHC’s AI contribution policy, reviewer economics, maintainer development, provenance, and comparable project rules. It is practically relevant to open-source engineering, though centered on one compiler community and partly opinionated.

Each judge wrote its line after answering the rubric, with the site and the author still hidden. Every answer behind this is in the table under Score.
