If we are doing this, I suggest having 'Reviewed-by' too. It's merely the same effort (if not a greater one).

If we can somehow make it easy for contributors to append appropriate lines to the commit messages of theirs then this has a chance to live. Otherwise, if I have to manually copy-paste (or even worse write all the lines out manually), then the
