Hi all,
Perhaps interesting given the genAI discussion, Godot updated their
contribution policy w.r.t. AI:
https://godotengine.org/article/contribution-policy-2026/
Their goals are very similar to ours, they emphasize the
human-connection, e.g.:
Reviewing PRs is already tedious work, but it is rewarding because
reviewers generally feel that their efforts are contributing to
educating a new contributor (who may become a future maintainer/
reviewer). If your feedback on PRs is just being absorbed by a
machine and not going towards mentoring a potential future
maintainer, it becomes much harder to justify spending your free
time on PR review.
And I find this perfectly reasonable policy, e.g.:
Ensuring all contributions are made by humans who can take
responsibility for their code and be able and willing to fix it
when needed. AI cannot take responsibility, and we can’t trust
heavy users of AI to understand their code enough to fix it.
Maybe we can take inspiration from it.
