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.
