Hi! I've noticed that the most recent LLMs are actually very good at finding information, summarizing and giving code examples about Debian already without extra training. One just needs to double check that the answer was correct to not fall for when they are simply making up plausible sounding stuff. However, checking if an answer is correct is much faster than figuring it out something from scratch.
Anyone can test it for themselves at https://chat.lmsys.org/ - no registration required, just participate in the research by reading the replies from two LLMs and telling the leaderboard which reply you think was better. Knowing there is so much repetitive petty work involved in Debian package maintenance that drains a of energy both from current and aspiring maintainers I have been skimming the README at https://salsa.debian.org/deeplearning-team/debgpt with high hopes for DebGPT to evolve over time. It would be great if there was a LLM with enough logic and context that it could do things like Lintian-brush (or even go all the way like Janitor and start filing MRs on Salsa for humans to review/finalize).
