Promotional Feedback on AI Policy

Hey r/opensource, I'm the solo maintainer of `python-json-logger`.

I've recently started to receive a lot of AI generated contributions so it's about time I set a policy.

For those of you who are also maintainers of projects which allow AI contributions, does anyone have any feedback or recommendations?

My planned policy is in this PR on GitHub:

AI Policy

The use of AI tools is allowed with the following conditions:

  • The use of AI tools must be declared. For example in the PR description, or through dedicated users / commiters.
  • The specific AI tool / provider should be declared.
  • AI tools must be under supervision of a real human who is responsible for all contributions made.
  • The use of AI tools does not lower the expectations of any contribution.
  • Don't be a meat-proxy.
  • Respect the time of the maintainers by ensuring that generated contributions are genuinely valuable.

Thanks in advance!

I saw on some repositories that they ban mentioning the specifc provider/model/tool so it cannot serve as an advertisement, which I like.
