Please drop the bogus reported-bys. The patch does *not* address an
issue you reported, so recording this in the commit log would be
incorrect.

Your review and testing is appreciated, and resulted in substantial
improvements. So feel free to give your reviewed-by in addition to
your tested-by. But reported-by is inappropriate here.
