Besides these basic rules that I think are absolutely mandatory, I'm not sure how far to go. I'd want to say that the project needs to explain Free Software affinity or explain why it's posted on lemmy or something like that... But it's so easy to fake it with, the irony of it, AI texts.
In conclusion,
EDIT: Also, something to think about is... community, not just code. For community health, it might be better to remove AI-driven projects entirely. Because we aren't just about code. We're also about continuing to exist long-term.
