The tags should represent the order of the hand-off chain:

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.6-rc1/source/Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst#L449

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.6-rc1/source/Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst#L493

Although current b4 seems to move tags around sometimes...
