Please add your Acked-by: when you've reviewed it.
Do you use some tool that requires it?
No. I believe the Linux kernel developers started this convention and
it's slowly spreading to other projects. It helps keep a searchable
record of who was involved in a patch/contribution. The maintainers
won't read this mailing list to find out it's been reviewed by others,
so while there are no strict requirements on numbers of acks, it gives
the maintainers an indication that it's not completely bogus.
It may not be required for cURL but it doesn't hurt either. Consider
it a general suggestion for outgoing patches on this list: Rather than
not objecting, actively ack it. Of course this applies to anyone
reading the patch, no BePorts account required. And comments are, as
always, welcome.
I admit I often only check where to send/submit them afterwards.
Subversion however seem to take the buddy system very seriously: http://subversion.tigris.org/project_issues.html
(the worst system I have stumbled upon...)
