Looking for examples: do you know any open source projects that have updated their contribution process to handle AI-assisted PRs thoughtfully?

Specifically interested in:
* PR templates that ask for intent/reasoning
* Policies around comprehension checks
* Other methods for adding more friction to creating a PR

Would love to learn from communities already experimenting here

@abbycabsAbby Cabunoc Mayes Here's the CPython policy: https://devguide.python.org/getting-started/generative-ai/

And here's the recently merged Django PR template now requiring AI assistance disclosure:
https://github.com/django/django/pull/19594

Generative AI

Generative AI tools have evolved rapidly, and their suggested results can be helpful. As with using any tool, the resulting contribution is the responsibility of the contributor. We value good code...
