1) 'Assisted by AI' tag in the commit messages (Stephen)
- Linux kernel has decided to use 'assisted by LLM' tag for AI assisted
patches,
we might to get patches with similar tag in DPDK in future.
Some code agents are automatically adding it.
What should be DPDK patch submission guidelines for that?
- TB consensus on: patch submitter is still fully responsible for the patch,
it is his/her responsibility to carefully review, test and sign it
prior to the submission.
Should DPDK allow patches with 'assisted by LLM' (or similar tag) is
still under discussion,
not clear consensus was reached. Current intention is to return to
that subject on one
of the following TB meetings.
2) Rules for names for DPDK contributors (Thomas)
Current rule of thumb is to always use the following order:
<Given-Name(s)><Family-Name>
TB agreed to make the rule less stringent and let contributors to
decide themselves their names ordering.
