"I think it's a good idea, my only concern is giving too much trust to AI agents."
+1. I think we can possibly include a reference to this in the instructions. I know certain AI coding agents tend to try to be more autonomous by default (i.e.: by authoring commits, for instance) and I think we could include instructions specifically prohibiting that. I also think it goes in line w/ the ASF instructions in the sense that the contributor is the ultimate person responsible for the origins of the code.
