Subject: [PATCH 0/3] Clarifications around Acked-by and "# Suffix" proposal

A patch series that aims to clarify what the purpose of the Acked-by tag is,
in order to help newcomers understand the kernel process better, as well as
to give extra flexibility on the usage of the Acked-by tag.

It formalizes one of the proposals from [1]: "# Suffix" for Acked-by.

I hope this helps!
