Thanks for spotting. I've now put the tag there.


Chipang,

Generally the Reviewed-by and Tested-by tags should be collected from 
previous version(s) when preparing to send a new version as maintainer 
tools only automatically pick them from the current version thread 
(err'ing to the side caution).

Only if you make really major changes, it might be warranted to drop tags 
but those cases are truly rare.
