Some noise about Cc and Reviewed-by tags:
Checking Linux's Documentation/SubmittingPatches, I find that
that is a misuse on my part (sorry). A person passing on a patch
to Linus is rather supposed to _add_ a Cc line in the rare event
that they want to explain that a certain person had an opportunity
to comment but did not comment (so Linus can know about their
indifference to the patch, I guess).
Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for an explanation.
