Can we get the tool changed to add a warning, something like:

  WARNING: This tool uses very simple pattern matching to look for
  repeated words. It does not understand the complexity of English,
  and will often result in false positive reports. Please assume it is
  wrong until proven otherwise.

There was no commit log and no cover letter AFAIK.
Do we know what tool was used?

Adrien, how did you discover these repeated words?

(If it's my script from 2021, I'll gladly update it.)

Adrien is not using my script -- they developed their own script.

Thinking about it some more, i think the warning might actually need
to be different.

If this tool has been around since 2021, all the real problems have
been solved, leaving only the false positives. So the warning probably
needs to be much stronger, saying that it probably only reports false
positives, unless the code is new.

Makes some sense.

Maybe we also want to extend the tool to have a list all the known
false positives?

I'm not crazy about that one. And we have no evidence that I am aware
of that my script is causing any of these patches.
