It is absolutely relevant information, not least for long-term evaluations of future use.

How? The only question is the copyright since nobody knows that. If the code sucks, the developer is responsible and on repeated slop, maybe prevent contributions for a while. Slop should hit the developer's reputation.

It will, yes, but should also hit the tool, for damaging good developers.

I think developers have some responsibility for how they use the tools or have some self control.
