A question for fellow open-source maintainers:

Imagine someone uses AI to redevelop your tool in Rust. The result barely works, but they reuse your project’s name and repeatedly jump into discussions about the existing project to promote their version.

How would you handle that? I’m usually a nice guy, but I still think that if someone keeps crashing your party, at some point you’re allowed to remind them they weren’t actually invited.
