There was a decision at LPC that this tag is no longer needed. This was
formalized with the following recent commit:
1e035297ffda ("docs: remove Assisted-by references")
Please remove the "Assisted-by:" tag from all patches and instead add
a statement to the cover letter about how AI was used during creation of
this series.
