Hello everyone,

Following Shahar's idea - and a number of PRs he has already opened this
way - I would like to call for lazy consensus on making it a rule for
agent-drafted PR descriptions:

https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/73660

The idea is simple:

* A PR description drafted by an AI agent starts with a short "Human
  Summary" - a few sentences typed by the human author, in their own
  words: why the change is needed, key decisions, caveats.
* The agent-written description is still there, but below it, in an
  "AI Summary" section that is folded by default.
* Agents are instructed to ask the user for the Human Summary and paste
  it verbatim - they must never write, suggest or paraphrase it
  themselves.

This should make it much easier (not with 100% certainty, but quite
reliably) to tell PRs where a human understood and owns the change
apart from fully AI-generated ones. It also gives reviewers a quick,
human-level "why" before they dive into the details.

The PR only changes the guidance our agents follow (AGENTS.md and the
PR drafting/publishing skills) plus one bullet in the Gen-AI section of
contributing-docs. The regular PR template is unchanged - PRs created by
humans without agents are not affected. The PR itself is "dog-fed" - it
uses the new format.

As this is straightforward and uncontroversial, I plan to merge the PR
before the lazy consensus ends. If there are objections, we can simply
revert it.

The lazy consensus will end on Monday, 28 September 2026, 15:00 CEST,
unless there are objections.

J.
