From my perspective, AI agents must NOT use the Reviewed-by tag for the
following reasons:

- We consider this a "person-trailer" and it implies agency
- Adding yourself to a commit via a trailer is a *binding responsibility* for
  the change. A lot of tooling will cc the Reviewed-by addresses on follow-up
  messages regarding code in this commit. If the address is bogus or doesn't
  go to a developer, this is both wasteful and potentially frustrating.
