I like the differences between "Reorted:" and "Reviewed:", although I may
keep the "Link" instead of Reviewed because my automate scripts just give
the link of the patch, and there's seldom a review attached to it :-/

That said, I would like a way to have versions show a link to the last
version that was reviewed.

v1: has no tags

v2: has a Reviewed: tag to v1.

v3: has a Reviewed: tag to v2

[...]

Then the final commit could have a "Link" or "Reviewed" tag to v3, even
though there may not be any reviews to v3, but v3 has the link to v2, and
v2 has the link to v1, etc.
