It is unreasonable to assume, that someone who is listed via Tested-By: in a random patch is able to review another patch to the same file. More likely will he be annoyed, because he see's a patch, dig's in and then thinks: "wtf? why were i cc'ed on this. I don't know this code. I don't have time for this!" Thats just broken. cheers, Flo
