Do we need an AI contribution policy?

[Lee Yarwood]

I've created a community issue asking $subject after a few folks
discussed the topic downstream:

Does the project need an AI contribution policy?
https://github.com/kubevirt/community/issues/411

I'd appreciate thoughts from the community and any missing context
(the current CNCF policy etc) in the issue if anyone is interested.
I'll also raise this during the next community call.

Cheers,

Lee

IMO - Yes.

We should be clear about if/how KubeVirt accepts AI contributions.

To me we should be open to accept AI co-developed patches.

If we do accept co-developed patches, then we should require transparency on it.

Lee, thanks for collecting some examples on the issue already, I added a link to a similar discussion on lkml - what I like about their approach is to add common coding assistant config files to the main tree.

Hello Folks,

Just bumping the thread asking for anyone with an interest in this
topic to post to the PR in the coming weeks as I'd like to attempt to
close this PR out (be it merged or closed) by v1.7.0 FF at the end of
October [1] so we can move forward with this during v1.8.0.

Cheers,

Lee
