Sure, I've provided mine in public now.

I will attempt to remember your preference, although I'm not sure I
think it's necessary.

What's the failure mode we're protecting against here? That my
engineers are lying and have *faked* my reviewed-by tag?

Don't you think I'd *eat* them if I ever found that happening?

What's next? That you only accept such tags in signed email, so that
the dishonest engineer in question can't *fake* an email from me to the
list? They know I'm afflicted by Exchange so they can always send that
fake message with a message-id matching another message they know is
already in my inbox, so Exchange will helpfully discard theirs. :)
