But how do you get your ack without making it public?

But I do agree Signed-off-by is a must for every commit (if one is
missing, something is horribly broken). When I need an Acked-by
(touching a maintainer's code) I post an RFC branch (not to be pulled).

But for Tested-by, it is much easier for a tester to pull and test some
git branch than it is to pull patches from LKML.

And as we know, the easier it is to test, the more testers we have.
