We recently had several group-external contributors using LLMs to improve parts of our code base. Therefore, we want to revise the contribution guidelines:
- Add two ticks to the PR checklist: Users should either check that they did not use AI or that they used AI and carefully checked the model output before submitting the code in the PR.
- Split AUTHORS.md into authors and contributors. Authorship requires a "substantial contribution" to the code base and whether a contribution is substantial will be decided by the core developers.
- Reflect these changes in the CONTRIBUTING.md
