[DISCUSS] AI tooling policy for Parquet

Hi team,

I just wanted to start a discussion on a Parquet AI tooling policy, given
that coding agents are increasingly being adopted for code changes.

This continues from the earlier thread, on formalizing the AI policy as
suggested by Micah. While AI tooling can accelerate contributions, if PRs
contributors find it hard to justify design or implementation choices/or
get involved in the review, it may introduce unnecessary risk and increase
reviewer overhead.
Having a documented set of guidelines would help authors/reviewers align on
best practices for a safe review/merge process.

I went through the existing ASF policy and other projects, and put a draft
here (comment access is enabled), would love to get your thoughts and
suggestions.
Doc:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_BLbmxHuaQhrdv1XUb4stDkFzS31RxCnG4g7EzB11Js/edit?usp=sharing

Warm Regards,
Arnav

Hi Arnav,
It seems like we can maybe open up a PR with what is in the doc now?

Cheers,
Mica
