Your v3 touched only one patch, so all tags for all other patches
should be added and preserved. If the patch changed significantly that
review or testing is not appropriate, you could remove someone's tag
but then you should ask for testing again. And you did not send it for
testing.

Your v4 only extended a comment which does not affect testing. All
tags, review, ack and tested by should be added/preserved.

Otherwise you ask for testing (or reviewing) and then do not credit
this person. Neither maintainers know that patches were tested.

Best regards,
