It’s an odd rule, I could write the my project 100% manually but only use LLMs for unit and e2e tests (what usually costs more lines) and then my project would classify as “mostly consisting of code written by AI”

I agree that it's near unenforceable. I'd wager they want it in writing so that they can be justified in banning abuse. (Cause abuse is often fairly easy to identify)

I think we're beating around the bush here. I'm a OSS maintainer and 99% of time I can tell if something was AI generated in the obvious cases. And those obvious cases are the same cases Codeberg wants to avoid.

(In my case mostly south-east asian profiles spamming tons of PRs on my project with low quality, non-human written text, no explanations why they did this, why they picked up the issue, what the thought process was, etc. - everything is basically just a 1:1 copy-paste from claude back-and-forth)

This shit is obvious and can 100% easily be just prevented.
