I don't think we need to aim for perfection. Detecting Anthropic, 
OpenAI, and Microsoft Copilot would probably cover the majority of 
cases, and the remainder would be caught by our usual perusal of the Git 
logs. Catching it before it hits Savannah just means we don't have to 
worry about removing or reverting commits.

I see this as just a friendly reminder for committers to simplify 
maintainers' jobs. Our existing Git hooks aren't perfect either, but 
they do catch some common mistakes.
