These guidelines seem to leave some of the specifics up to individual projects. I think we should agree on some clearer guidelines for contributors, and post it on our wiki <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/IMPALA/Contributing+to+Impala>.
I do have GitHub Copilot enabled, and my rule-of-thumb is if I do more than accept small auto-complete suggestions (not much different to what pre-generative tooling produced) that I can immediately understand, I add "Generated-by: GitHub Copilot (<model>)" to the commit message, like in apache/impala#ac1c11dd <https://github.com/apache/impala/commit/ac1c11dd8256e8a81e138f43663de06610441d41> or apache/impala#c0b3580 <https://github.com/apache/impala/commit/c0b35807543f96cb382240717ab552d17f6f78a6> .
