>Acked-by:

* Used by random people to express their (dis)like/experience with the
patch.

>Reviewed-by:

* I am maintaner or an 'important' person and have had a

* Used by original submitter to denote additional maintainers it goes to
* Parties who should be Cced when an a posteriori question comes up
