This commit is the initial commit of the AI-Assisted Contributions Policy, as voted on and approved by the Fedora Council on Wednesday, 22 October 2025. This text is an AsciiDoc representation of the policy text approved in the ticket. Very few minor changes were made at commit time:
Bullet levels: For the Transparency rule, I used bullets at further sub-levels / indentions to more clearly organize the information in AsciiDoc. This also more clearly ties the sub-levels to the Transparency rule. The original text simply used whitespace, which is not obvious how to do in AsciiDoc.
Wiki page categories: I added a new type of disclosure at my own discretion, about how content creators can declare the use of AI when using it for writing Fedora Wiki pages. Fedora contributors can use a new Fedora Wiki category to "declare" the use of generative AI on Wiki page content. I linked to the Fedora Wiki category page in the policy document. This was not in the original draft, but it does not change the interpretation or substance of the policy itself. Since it provides further context about how contributors should appropriately declare the use of generative AI, this felt like an appropriate change to slip in without triggering another round of voting.
Author credit: I credited @jasonbrooks, the Fedora Council, and the Fedora community as authors of this policy, in recognition of the work that Jason specifically did in crafting the policy, the input of the Fedora Council in shaping the final version of the policy, and of course, the valuable input from our diverse, global community of contributors who helped us shape this policy over several weeks, if not months (depending when you consider this work as having started).
