Yes, the only thing that matters is who authorized the code to be published, which is never Copilot (an automated system that takes tickets, has copilot craft patches from them, then publishes them with no human review would be a) very cool and b) an incomprehensibly terrible idea; but even then there is still a human authorizing the code to be published, just residing a level of abstraction removed from the process itself)
