Hi Konstantin!

The goal here is to inform maintainers that sashiko has successfully reviewed the patch
and there were no findings, otherwise maintainers have to go to the web site and check the status.

I’m not attached to any specific form of it, I thought Reviewed-by is the most obvious form. 
And we use Reported-by: tags with various tooling for years.

What do you think is the best form?

I’ll pause sending reviewed-by tags until we have a discussion and agreement here.

Thanks
