Description

Looks like we reached the age of AI slop in luarocks.org:

https://luarocks.org/modules/qy-upup

All these entries look bogus. I downloaded one of them and there's no Lua files, just a mix of Python and PHP; these entries seem to be there solely to drive links to some AI service website.

Determine how these entries reached the site and what evidence would establish that bogus modules are removed or blocked; the issue names no repository files or tests.
