I know very little about gemini, but that sounds like an early sign of
building into gemini the sort of crap that weighs down http/html and I
though gemini was meant to act as an escape from?

In this case, this is not something that clients will automatically do. If

the user has written a response to a Gemini page, and they notice the page

mentions a link to submit your response, they can go in and fill that

form. The script checks if the link actually exists in order to prevent

spam to some degree.

This is similar to a manual webmention [1][2].
