Make is_revert stricter, to match GCCs changelog scripts

Reverts like
https://gcc.gnu.org/cgit/gcc/commit/?id=eec8da328cf1f91db302ab4cee803e269e68ad33
are let through by the hooks, but then lead to failures in the changelog
generating script:
https://inbox.sourceware.org/gccadmin/20260415001632.71DF64BA23C4@sourceware.org/

This check should prevent that.
