Maintainers usually apply tags that are sent to the latest version, when 
picking up the patch. Maintainers usually refrain from going through 
multiple earlier patch versions to pick up tags -- especially, because 
some changes might require a submitter from dropping tags (e.g., bigger 
changes) and the tags might no longer be valid.

So better always include tags when resending, so they don't get lost.
