If we I'm not worried about Acked-by, as that (to me anyway) is just a maintainer telling other maintainers that they are fine with the change, and they are OK with it going in via another tree. I also sometimes give an Acked-by, as a "I took a quick look, and it looks good to me". I only add a Reviewed-by tag if I took enough effort to understand every part of the patch as if I wrote it myself. -- Steve
