      When Motor connects to the server, it appears like a PyMongo connection: the client handshake metadata includes only PyMongo's name and version, not Motor's.

      We had the same problem with drivers that wrap the C Driver. We solved it with an option to combine the façade driver's name and version with the C Driver's:

      "driver" : { "name" : "mongoc / PHP Driver", "version" : "1.10.0 / 1.2.3" } 

      Let's add an option to PyMongo's MongoClient:

      MongoClient(driver=("Motor", "1.3.0"))
      

      PyMongo will then send to the server:

      "driver" : { "name" : "PyMongo / Motor", "version" : "3.7.0 / 1.3.0" }
