The coding-assistants.rst documentation defines the Assisted-by: tag
format for AI-assisted contributions as:
Assisted-by: AGENT_NAME:MODEL_VERSION [TOOL1] [TOOL2]
This format does not use an email address, so checkpatch currently
reports a false positive about an invalid email when encountering this
tag.
Add Assisted-by: to the recognized signature tags and standard signature
list. When an Assisted-by: tag is found, validate it instead of checking
for an email address.
Examples of passing tags:
- Claude:claude-3-opus coccinelle sparse
- FOO:BAR.baz
- Copilot Github:claude-3-opus
- GitHub Copilot:Claude Opus 4.6
- My Cool Agent:v1.2.3 coccinelle sparse
Examples of tags triggering the new warning:
- Claude coccinelle sparse
- JustAName
- :missing-agent
