If the patch has already been merged and we need an incremental patch
that fixes *only* the build issue, I think it's fine to add a
"Reported-by" tag.

But if this patch hasn't been merged anywhere, I think adding the
"Reported-by" tag would be pointless and distracting.  This report
should result in a v2 posting of the patch with the build issue fixed.

There will be no evidence of the problem in the v2 patch.  The patch
itself contains other changes unrelated to the build issue, so
"Reported-by" makes so sense for them.  I would treat this as just
another review comment, and we don't usually credit those in the
commit log (though it's nice if they're mentioned in the v2 cover
letter so reviewers know what changed and why).

Is there any chance kbuild could be made smart enough to suggest the
tag only when it finds an issue in some list of published trees?
