I think we should add an entry to our contributor guidelines:

| For large changes, please reach out to relevant maintainers first.

I'd personally like a full ban on LLM contributions; I feel they're a
waste of everyones time.

I'm currently just tagging them with a 'this looks llm generated, will
ignore' tag so I can filter them out.

We don't owe anyone to review their pull requests, and we don't owe the
Large Lying Machines anything.
