Discouraged automated AI reviews of pull requests.
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.
