Ashkenazi Jewish surnames 

@nightjar @Byte most of them that fall outside that category of "idk it sounds like a cool name" just took the name of their settlement. It is pretty common to be able to trace an Ashkenazi Jewish family back to the exact village in eastern europe by name alone. A lot of these places no longer exist because they were Jewish settlements targeted in pogroms, or just happened to be in the path of a war.

It really isn't that different than people in most places forced to adopt surnames. In other historical circumstances a surname would be a family trade, name of a clan, or something.

gen AI usage in FOSS project 

just accidentally read the README for keepassxc and found a "generative AI" section, which just says significant usage will be marked on PRs

the most recent commit (a PR merged) includes github copilot as the coauthor and one of the project members as the committer of that

copilot was explicitly added on 2025-06-19 with the first explicit sign of github copilot use on 2025-06-19 (earlier with unmarked things is unknown). there has been 0 releases with any explicitly marked copilot code, so 2.7.10 is the last one before it includes any known AI code.
