I agree that the bug report is not very good. I also agree that having commits written by Claude is not necessarily what caused the bug, although it might be (it is also possible that some of them introduced bugs and others didn't); whether or not it is in this case, is I don't know (some people think it is, but some think not). (Software without code written by generative AI will still have bugs too.)
However, the claim that "the original post was [...] no bug report" seems wrong; it does have a bug report, although not a very good one. It says that incremental backups using multiple --compare-dest arguments do not work, so it is a bug report. But, it should have been written differently, including by putting the text directly instead of a screenshot, giving a proper title, better details about the bug being reported, etc.
Their claims that they introduced deliberate bugs, are unlikely to be accurate, and not worth making those claims nor the violence that they involve.
I do have reasons for not wanting LLMs to commit code, so I agree with their opinion about that, but that does not justify making a bad bug report and the other stuff that they did. If it is FOSS, someone who disagrees with the project can fork it and make their own version, as has been done with other FOSS projects as well.
I think it is good that they are making statistical analysis. However, they used a language model to classify bug reports. They mentioned some things that might be missed, and they could be missed whether or not you are using a language model to classify bug reports, although there are some other possibilities e.g. whether or not a single report should count as multiple bugs in some cases, and mistakes in marking reports as duplicate.
