When contributing code to the WordPress AI Team’s repositories, it’s important to ensure that all contributors are properly recognized for their work.
If you have commit access to any of the AI Team’s repositories, please follow these best practices when merging pull requests:
Use the Props Bot for Co-Author Credit
The WordPress project uses a Props Bot to automatically attribute contributions when merging pull requests.
To make sure everyone gets proper credit:
- When merging a pull request, review the Props Bot comment and confirm that the listed contributors meaningfully contributed to the PR and any linked issues.
- Add verified contributors to the merge commit using the
Co-Authored-Bytrailer in the commit message. - Avoid squashing commits unless necessary, as this can interfere with proper attribution.
For more details on how Props attribution works across WordPress projects, refer to the Contributor Attribution & Props guide.
By following these steps, we ensure that everyone who contributes to the AI Team’s codebase receives the recognition they deserve.
