checkpatch.pl complains about the Reported-by if I do. 

It does not complain about
Closes: N/A
but if I read the process documentation correctly if the report
is not available on the web Closes should be omitted:
"""
Using Reported-by:, Tested-by:, Reviewed-by:, Suggested-by: and Fixes:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The Reported-by tag gives credit to people who find bugs and report them and it
hopefully inspires them to help us again in the future. The tag is intended for
bugs; please do not use it to credit feature requests. The tag should be
followed by a Closes: tag pointing to the report, unless the report is not
available on the web.
"""

So I guess I have to make peace with getting checkpatch warnings when I
give credits to the reporter for reports not available on the web.
