Some examples of mode names that belong to "Version Control":

  "Log-Edit/git" (e.g. in a buffer named "*vc-log*")
  "Git-Log-View" (e.g. "*vc-change-log*", "*vc-search-log*")
  "Change Log" (e.g. "ChangeLog")
  "Diff" (e.g. "*vc-diff*")
  "VC dir" (e.g. "*vc-dir*")
  "Annotate" (e.g. "*Annotate file*")

Grepping reveals more mode names belonging to "Version Control":

  "Log-Edit", "Log-View", "Bzr-Log-View", "Hg-Log-View",
  "Log-Edit/hg", "Mtn-Log-View", "SVN-Log-View"

Whereas here is a list of mode names that should be
excluded from "Version Control" and thus should not match:

  "Verilog", "Prolog", "Prolog[Mercury]", "Inferior Prolog",
  "Rlogin", "recentf-dialog"

So I pushed this fix to emacs-28:
