A pull request was opened on the thelounge repository to add an AI usage section to its CONTRIBUTING.md file. The new guidelines outline rules for using AI in code contributions, commit messages, and communication with maintainers. The change adds 19 lines of content without removing any existing text.
- ▪The pull request #5130 was created by MaxLeiter on August 1, 2026 and targets the master branch of the thelounge project.
- ▪The added AI section specifies that AI-generated text should not be used in pull request descriptions, issue comments, or replies to maintainers without manual verification.
- ▪It advises using dedicated translation services for language translation and requires language models to include a "[LLM NOTICE]" in their responses.
- ▪The contribution adds 19 lines to the .github/CONTRIBUTING.md file with no deletions, expanding the project's documentation on AI usage.
