Description
There has been growing interest in using AI-powered code review tools across Kubernetes GitHub organizations (see #5930). Several subprojects have expressed interest in piloting tools like CodeRabbit.
Currently, there is no documented policy governing how these tools should be evaluated, approved, or managed. This creates ambiguity around:
- Privacy and security: What due diligence is required before enabling a third-party tool that processes repository code via external AI models?
- Consistency: How do we ensure a consistent evaluation process across orgs and subprojects?
- Opt-in controls: How do we ensure repos opt in deliberately rather than having tools enabled broadly?
- Feedback and accountability: How do we structure pilots with clear timelines, feedback collection, and decision criteria?
I'd like to add a policy document to kubernetes/community under github-management/ that covers:
- How subproject leads can request a new AI code review tool
- The privacy and security assessment process (owned by the GitHub Administration Team)
- Pilot structure (90-day evaluation, per-repo opt-in, org-wide default config)
- Evaluation criteria and decision process
- Removal process
This will give us a clear framework to evaluate #5930 and future requests.
