Discouraged automated AI reviews of pull requests.

2026-03-12T14:40:27Z

Some contributors have been requesting Copilot reviews on pull requests submitted to the Django repository. These automated reviews add noise to the PR history, making it harder to follow the discussion, and Django does not incorporate them into its review process. This change discourages the practice by: - Adding a `copilot-instructions.md` file instructing Copilot to decline review requests in this repository. - Adding a checklist item to the PR template asking contributors not to request automated AI reviews for their PR. - Documenting the policy in the contributing guidelines.

Extended checks and docs for proper commit message format and edition.

Clarified optional nature of Contributor License Agreement.

2026-02-10T14:58:39Z

It's not clear that CLAs are needed to ensure contributors are assenting to our license (the "inbound=outbound" agreement), but we can keep them around for contributors who would like to (or are required by their employer) to submit one, without investing additional resources in checking every single contribution. See https://forum.djangoproject.com/t/cla-vs-dco-for-django-contributors/42399 and recent board minutes.
