I'd say the documentation is pretty clear on this matter:

  Reported-by: names a user who reported a problem which is fixed by this
  patch; this tag is used to give credit to the (often underappreciated)
  people who test our code and let us know when things do not work
  correctly.

  - Documentation/process/5.Posting.rst

  The Reported-by tag gives credit to people who find bugs and report
  them and it hopefully inspires them to help us again in the future.
  Please note that if the bug was reported in private, then ask for
  permission first before using the Reported-by tag.

  - Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst

Just like you don't add a Tested-by tag for every patch you submit, it
is implied that you found the issue you fix unless you explicitly
attribute that to a third party using Reported-by.

This is the first time I see anyone trying to use Reported-by this way,
and even if you think the documentation isn't clear enough on this, our
praxis is.
