Just to give some more guidance on when to drop tags and when to not:
If you are making real changes to the code, then it might be indicated to
drop the tag, since the patch might not be anymore what the reviewer
acknowledged.
But if you are just fixing (especially improving/adding to) the commit
message, or fixing some typo, then you keep the tag, to reduce the churn
and avoid extra work again from the reviewer.
This is sometimes not easy to decide, say for instance: is renaming a
variable something covered by the tag? The new name might be worse or
misleading, even though the code didn't really change.

But in this case it's pretty clear that Krzysztof is surely fine with you
adding extra info to the commit message, and the actual patch didn't
change at all, so keeping his tag would be a good thing.

If you are in doubt, then it's often good to drop the tag *and* point this
out, for instance in the cover letter, like: "Krzysztof, I changed this
and that in patch 1/4, so I dropped your tag."

Cheers,
Andre
