That wiki page refers to Reviewed-by as being about crediting reviewers.
But the specification appears to be oriented to something else entirely
(i.e. convincing a committer - in a Linux-kernel-like context with a very
limited set of committers to a particular tree, much smaller than the set
of reviewers - that a patch is worthy of commit). It doesn't cover
reviews that request changes, or only relate to part of a patch, or relate
to a previous version of a patch - only the limited special case of a
review approving the entirety of a patch as posted. If the aim is credit,
a substantially different specification is needed.
