You can write whatever the heck you want...  :P  No one cares.

When it comes to credit, I do appreciate Reported-by tags because LWN
and employers do count those sometimes.  I also think there should be a
tag for when you find a bug in a patch before the patch gets merged.
You wouldn't get the tag for complaining about white space and style
issue because that's easier and less important and, in a way,
complaining about style is its own reward.  But so far we haven't
invented a tag for that.
