For me, it sounds reasonable to accept a public reply about someone testing a patch as a reason to add a tested-by tag. Yet, I don't add tested-by myself based on replies. What I do when someone sends a reply saying that the patch was tested is to request the tester to reply with a tested-by with a short description about the test scenario. IMO it is important to ask it to the tester, not only to have an explicit tag, but also because as a simple tested-by without a test scenario is usually not very useful. Regards, Mauro
