Updated with your very first suggestion. If we make the rule too tight, it might even break on reformatting. If we make too wide, we change stuff that wasnt meant to be changed.

So I think that now is a good compromise. And the whole thing is a highly manual process, so whoever updates the year will `git diff` before committing/pushing and likely catch (an unlikely) mistake.
