In python/bedevere#722 (comment) I'm suggesting
AI-needs-explanationandAI-not-acceptablelabels instead. If I don't hear objection by end of the day, I will proceed with these labels, and trigger the deployment of bedevere.[-]Add the `AI policy comment` and `AI policy close` labels[/-][+]Add the `AI-needs-explanation` and `AI-not-acceptable` labels[/+]zware commentedon Oct 27, 2026
For some bikeshedding,
-or no? We have a mix in our existing labels. Also, maybeneeds explanation - AIandnot acceptable - AI? That gives us room to add other reasons in the future. It would also sort them between theneeds backport ...andOS-*labels rather than just after the version number and buildbot labels, though I'm not sure how much that really matters.I'm happy with whichever pattern you choose :)

I omitted the
-because that seems like the most common pattern 🤷♀️Mariatta commentedon Oct 27, 2026
No strong preference. We have been inconsistent in our labels 😅 There are
needs backport to ...labels without the dash, and then there areOS-...andtopic-...labels that use dash.Mariatta commentedon Oct 27, 2026
I'm going to go ahead with
AI-...prefix for now (with dashes). We might need this mechanism on additional repos than just CPython but that's a larger work.Mariatta commentedon Oct 27, 2026
I ended up creating the
AI-needs-explanationandAI-guidelines-not-metinstead ofAI-not-acceptable.The labels are live now on the CPython repo. Bedevere will be merged and deployed soon.
