Open source maintainership in the age of AI

The Kubernetes community has developed an AI policy to balance innovation with accountability in AI-assisted coding. The policy requires transparency about AI usage, maintains human accountability, and enforces contributor license agreements for co-authors. Reviewers expect to engage with humans, not AI, and contributors must personally explain changes. This ensures code quality and maintainability. The policy is a step towards adapting to the world of AI-assisted coding.
