The usage of emacs notation is something that we don't like at the
Linux Kernel. With ~4K developers per release, if we add tags to
every single editor people use, it would be really messy, as one
developer would be adding a tag and the next one replacing it by its
some other favorite editor's tag.

There's even an item at Documentation/process/coding-style.rst
due to that (item 9).
