Will fix the stars (extra space is intentional, though it shows my age.
I still find that it reads better on monospace fonts to have two spaces
at the end of the sentence).

Sure.
In my v2 I added:
AI tools **should not be used to write commit messages**. The act of
summarising and explaining the reasoning for the changes is an
important demonstration of the human authors understanding of the
commit.
While I didn't include this, v2 links to the "how to write a commit
message" paragraph elsewhere in the documentation. I don't want it to
look like people can't even ask for copy-editing of commit messages.
