I was thinking about how to handle loosing that information.

I don't think this amounts amending commits since Andrews mmotm is
based on patch series so dropping a patch and updating patches before
being merged won't capture this.

Adding the "Tested-by" attribution to the updated patch prior to syzbot
actually performing the test might be ok since it will get tested along
the way. Although the problem patch itself won't exist any more so ... ?

OTOH, if I repost the series I think I can send them to syzbot for testing
before forwarding to Andrew (I've done something like that before but can't
remember how now) and add the attribution to the series.

But this all depends on what is best for Andrew and what Al would like to
see done.
