You should drop these Reviewed-by: footers, as they imply that the
code was thoroughly digested and the implementation deemed correct.
Hannes at least gave advice about abbreviation length and may deserve
mention via a Helped-by: footer (if you take his advice and feel his
contribution worthy); however, in my case, I merely made a very minor
observation about the output format, not even worth a Helped-by: (and
certainly not a Reviewed-by:).
