Hi everyone, I wanted to start a discussion on a growing challenge across Apache projects: AI-generated contributions.
Other communities are already seeing increased maintainer burden from PRs that require significant effort but add limited value. Some projects (e.g., Iceberg, Flink) have started addressing this with files like AGENT.md to better guide contributors and AI tools. Since Fluss is still in incubation, this could be a good opportunity to be proactive and put some lightweight guardrails in place early. Some initial ideas: - Introducing an AGENT.md (similar to Iceberg/Flink) to guide AI-assisted contributions This isn’t about discouraging AI usage, but about maintaining quality as the project grows. What do others think? Worth addressing now during incubation? Regards, Vaibhav
