There is a signed tag (hsi_for_3.3), but said it so is true that my key
was signed only by one person. Today I've managed to meet Artem
Bityutskiy and he has now also signed the key. However, It is my
understanding that's not enough :(

I guess there is also the issue of the Reviewed and Acked tags.
Currently the commits only have your Acked for the framework.

I guess I can add also Alan Cox Acked-by tag to patch set, but I have
forgotten to add it to the commit logs :(
