For future reference, a R-b that comes with qualifiers can be carried so long as
the issues raised by the reviewer are addressed.  Obviously it can be somewhat
subjective, but common sense usually goes a long ways, and most reviewers won't
be too grumpy about mistakes so long as you had good intentions and remedy any
mistakes.  And if you're in doubt, you can always add a blurb in the cover letter
or ignored part of the patch to explicitly confirm that it was ok to add the tag,
e.g. "Sean, I added your Reviewed-by in patch 02 after fixing the changelog, let
me know if that's not what you intended".

Thanks!
