The Assisted-by tag is used to disclose the use of AI assistants in creating patches. This tag was already mentioned in the AI-assisted Contributions section but was not documented in the Tags section.
Following review and discussion in the community A/V meeting, the tag should include underlying model name, if known, and only the name of the AI assistant, not an email address.
