Maintainers Tag AI‑Assisted Kernel Patches

A major Linux maintainer is running an AI‑assisted fuzzer (branch/tagged as 'clanker' and 'Assisted-by: gregkh_clanker_t1000') and submitting human‑authored fixes after reviewing the tool's findings. The practice formalizes provenance for machine‑assisted work in git metadata and makes AI's role visible in the software supply chain. — Normalizing explicit 'assisted‑by' tags for AI tooling shifts accountability, auditability, and policy needs for open‑source projects and critical infrastructure code.
