Is there a playbook-like resource for getting apps newly packaged in the #nixpkgs store & helping maintainers do updates & field issues? Am making so many homebrew #NixOS overlays from #github / #nixpkgs directly using LLM fixes that this removes the need to share fixes upstream & nixpkgs loses the benefit of feedback. #LLM use risks weakening the centralised #repo culture that advances #FOSS because the vitriol against novices using LLMs to raise issues has seeded a vicious circle of avoidance.
