I like this draft very much already.

This paragraph feels a bit off. I'd make the list more general and 
non-exhaustive, like this:

"We expect our contributors to design their workflows with due 
diligence, and to ensure that sensitive data, such as confidential 
communications, cryptographic keys, or account credentials for Debian 
infrastructure, are never exposed to AI tools."


Either way, I will second the draft if it becomes official.


Cheers
Timo
