It has been two weeks, so I don't remember what warning I saw (countless
of patches in between). It's possible I had in mind the "mentored-by",
because it's nowhere explained in Linux. Does it mean part of DCO chain?
Does it mean reviews or suggestions? This should be one of standard
tags, IMO, with all its effects (because tags have meaning, e.g. DCO or
reviewer's statement of oversight).

Best regards,
