@jacobtylerwalls and I talked about this in the [DSF office hours](https://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2026/aug/12/dsf-office-hours/) and agreed that this is a valid issue, but we don’t have the bandwidth to invest fixing it. There are bigger issues with the bot and LLM contributions that we want to resolve first. Mainly do we need an agents.md file or consolidating the new contributor bot and the PR validator.

@prince889035-sys unfortunately this means this is currently a wontfix and we won’t be accepting a ticket for it until we have clarity on what the future is for the bot.
