Define guidelines & processes for LLM/AI-based contributions

Open david-allison opened this issue 4 weeks ago • 0 comments

I'm opening this issue for discussion. There have been a few comments on Discord (and the GSoC Mentor Summit/Mailing List). The burden on reviewers is steadily increasing, but the meaningful benefit from LLM-generated Pull Requests doesn't justify this additional burden.

The aim is to:

  • Define our current problems
  • Research what other orgs are doing for these problems
  • Brainstorm reasonable solutions

Outcomes

I don't want to be heavy-handed here, a few incremental changes will likely suffice. I suspect that this will result in some of:

  • An update to our PR Template
  • An 'acceptable use' policy for LLM-based contributions
  • Potential configuration changes to GitHub Copilot
  • An update to CONTRIBUTING.md
    • on top of https://github.com/ankidroid/Anki-Android/pull/19732
  • CI: Validate the PR Template is filled in
