Hey,

Following the discussion in this thread
<https://lists.apache.org/thread/g34gx1tv8slorfy9hw7ks8wkkk86nxq0> (as well
as a complimentary discussion
<https://apache-airflow.slack.com/archives/C06K9Q5G2UA/p1781615008146859>
on Slack),
I'd like to call for a lazy-consensus on usage of imperative mode in
commits, by adding the following rule to the contributing docs in the PR
section (introduced by PR #68631
<https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/68631>):

```
   In text descriptions - always use imperative mode, never use past
   tense or conventional commits or any prefixes in the title take precious
space and do not add any value, so they should be
   avoided. For example, instead of "feat: add new feature" or "Added this
new feature"
   use "Add new feature". This is a common convention in many open source
projects
   and it makes the commit history more readable and consistent.
```

The lazy consensus will be reached in 72 hours on: June 20, 2026, 10:00 PM
UTC.
No need to reply unless you object to the proposal.


Shahar
