Yes, that's in the minutes. And yes, that's what I got as answer there.
Please reply to the minutes if you think otherwise.

I brought up exactly this situation where I am contributor to CPU and
submaintainer of CPU and often not getting Reviewed-bys but if at all,
such as from Paolo recently, some verbal "looks OK" for a series. I was
told that that should be turned into an Acked-by on the patches to
satisfy your criteria that contributors may not just send patches as
pull without Reviewed-by.

Again, at QEMU Summit you pushed for making Reviewed-by a must-have and
we discussed whether a submaintainer must add a Reviewed-by then and
what to do if author==submaintainer. If you dropped that thought, then
fine with me.
