Don't forget giving it a fancy name in the hope that it'll go viral!

I am getting so tired of every vulnerability getting a cutesy pet name trying to pretend being the new Heartbleed / Spectre / Meltdown...

It's not like every datapoint comes with the email of the corresponding author.

I use this before submission and recommend others do too. If ai was in charge of arXiv Id have it integrated as an optional part of the submission process.

Reading the LaTex equations also makes for easier (llm) translation into code rather than trying to read the pdf.

A huge value in having authors upload the original source, is it divorces the content from the presentation (mostly). That the original sources were available was sufficient for a large majority of the corpus to be automatically rendered into HTML for easier reading on many devices: https://info.arxiv.org/about/accessible_HTML.html. I don't think it would have been as simple if they had to convert PDFs.
