No need for blank lines between those tags, and when someone provides a
Reviewed-by tag, you can collect it into your patch for future versions
unless you feel you've modified the patch so much that it doesn't apply
anymore.

So this can still be added (no need to repost to add to this patch, I
believe the integration scripts likely pick up tags added to a patch,
but won't pick up ones added to previous versions).
