The number of patches with this tag is actually 2689. Sorry, I forgot to

I don't know if there is an official position but IMO individual tags
are the safest option. This would even allow tools such as b4 to collect
the tags automatically. So splitting out 'Reported-and-tested-by:' seems
trivial enough?

  Reported-by: syzbot+<context>
  Tested-by: syzbot+<context>
