Nothing wrong, especially when sometimes its given on IRC or something, 
I have to add it manually that time too.

But, just prone to forgetting. Like this case.

Next time, lets say Marijn again gives R-b, but someone else forgets to 
manually apply it, the same issue will happen even if proper git 
send-email is used.
