Description

As AI-assisted tools are now commonplace in open-source development, PyGMT should document a policy for their use in contributions.

Here are some useful resources (I haven't look at them carefully):

- List of AI policies by different open source projects: https://github.com/melissawm/open-source-ai-contribution-policies
- https://blog.scientific-python.org/scientific-python/community-considerations-around-ai/
- https://discuss.scientific-python.org/t/a-policy-on-generative-ai-assisted-contributions/1702

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by reviewing the listed open-source AI policies and the Scientific Python discussions, then determine where PyGMT contribution guidance belongs and document an agreed policy for AI-assisted contributions.
