While I realize that:
https://docs.kernel.org/process/submitting-patches.html#don-t-get-discouraged-or-impatient

states:
"""
"RESEND" only applies to resubmission of a patch or patch series which
have not been modified in any way from the previous submission.
"""

I would assume that this only refers to the commit log and code,
and that picking up tags has to be an acceptable exception.

If I take myself as an example, I would not be happy if I spent time
reviewing a large patch series, but because the maintainers somehow
missed that series, so the patch author has to RESEND it (without
picking up tags), my Reviewed-by tags get lost.

Kind regards,
Niklas
