I think it would be nice to have another tag for people who fix bugs
in the original patch.  The Reviewed-by tag implies approval of the
whole patch and anyway reviewers don't normally comment unless they
see a bug.  Maybe something like:

Contributor: Your Name <email@address.com>

So the tags for developers would be:

Signed-off-by:  The patch went through you.  Legal responsibility.
Acked-by:  You know what you are talking about and approve.
Reviewed-by:  You reviewed the patch and approve.
Contributor:  You noticed or fixed a bug in the patch.

regards,
dan carpenter
