Junio,
  I was ready to add my Reviewed-by to this patch series, but I wasn't sure if
I should email just you the patch author (to cut down on overall list traffic)
or both you and the list.  If all reviewed-by/acked-by/tested-by traffic 
should go via the email list I think this patch would be helpful, as I 
wasn't quite sure how wide of a distribution list to use for my 
"Reviewed-by" email.

This will apply on top of your last tweak to SubmittingPatches

Please add my reviewed-by to the rest of the patches in this series.

-Jason

 4. "Tested-by:" is used to indicate that the person applied the patch
    and found it to have the desired effect.
 
+If you are a reviewer and wish to add your Acked-by/Reviewed-by/Tested-by tag
+to a patch series under discussion (after having reviewed it or tested it
+of course!), reply to the author of the patch series, cc'ing the git mailing
+list.

 You can also create your own tag or use one that's in common usage
 such as "Thanks-to:", "Based-on-patch-by:", or "Mentored-by:".
