Well, while you don't care, the current policy implies that:

"
Assisted-by: AGENT_NAME:MODEL_VERSION
...
``MODEL_VERSION`` is the specific model version used
"

So clarifying there that a "Assisted-by: LLM" is also good enough would make
sense if we agree on that.


I'll also note, that the "*should* include an Assisted-by tag" is pretty weak,
as someone who worked on specs before.

My kids should clean up their room; doesn't work.


Really, if we want this to be useful in practice I only see the following way:

1) Document that it's a *must*, an document which scenarios we care about.

2) Encourage people to specify *how* AI was used.

Assisted-by: LLM # improve the patch description


Now, it will be hard for all susbsytems to agree on that, so I would hope that
Linus would just tell us what we should do :)
