This commit edits the frontmatter of the Fedora AI-Assisted
Contributions Policy to clearly note the document version (v1.0, the
original and first version) and the date of the publication, which was
when the git commit was merged into this repository on Friday, October
24th, 2025.
No changes to policy content; this just makes it easier for ourselves
and the rest of the world to understand the versioning and cadence of
our own policy documents. It also subtly encourages us to maintain a
changelog, so we can always clearly explain what changes we made and
why. Transparency++

This commit is the initial commit of the AI-Assisted Contributions
Policy, as voted on and approved by the Fedora Council on Wednesday, 22
October 2025. This text is an AsciiDoc representation of the policy text
approved in the ticket. Very few minor changes were made at commit time:
1. Bullet levels: For the Transparency rule, I used bullets at further
sub-levels / indentions to more clearly organize the information in
AsciiDoc. This also more clearly ties the sub-levels to the
Transparency rule. The original text simply used whitespace, which
is not obvious how to do in AsciiDoc.
2. Wiki page categories: I added a new type of disclosure at my own
discretion, about how content creators can declare the use of AI when
using it for writing Fedora Wiki pages. Fedora contributors can use a
new Fedora Wiki category to "declare" the use of generative AI on
Wiki page content. I linked to the Fedora Wiki category page in the
policy document. This was not in the original draft, but it does not
change the interpretation or substance of the policy itself. Since it
provides further context about how contributors should appropriately
declare the use of generative AI, this felt like an appropriate
change to slip in without triggering another round of voting.
3. Author credit: I credited @jasonbrooks, the Fedora Council, and the
Fedora community as authors of this policy, in recognition of the
work that Jason specifically did in crafting the policy, the input of
the Fedora Council in shaping the final version of the policy, and of
course, the valuable input from our diverse, global community of
contributors who helped us shape this policy over several weeks, if
not months (depending when you consider this work as having started).
