Just so it's extra clear, you want an "Acked-by" tag from Doug W in a public
forum? Or he should be CC to that patch and needs to give the acked-by
tag in the V2?

He already did respond in a public forum indicating this although he didn't
"generate a tag" for that:

Can Stuart just add the "Acked-by" tag himself to the commit in V2 at this
point considering that? Or do you need patchwork to pick it up and apply it?
