How does this force the developer to take ownership and not offer excuses?

You've gotten a lot of answers but essentially patches made to the kernel are never accepted without review anyway. The main thing this evicts is the dev who submitted the patch to not hide behind an ai when questioned by the maintainers of the file in question.

But he can still hide behind an AI after being questioned.

This does literally nothing to prevent or discourage that.

Why do I feel like I'm talking to people who are incapable of thinking?
