For me that is fine. This is the only way we have to record that John
tested the series. Also if I applied the original series I would have
let b4 add it to all patches in reply to a "tested-by" send in reply to
the cover letter.

My feedback here would be more: Don't send a new revision for such
comments within 30 min, also not for

. Maintainers differ, but if this is the only concern and the series is
fine otherwise, I'd just fix that when applying. (But I think the "don't
send a new iteration on the same day" is more universal, also for more
fundamental feedback.) There is no need to bother all subscribers of 5
mailing lists with a new thread in such quick sequence.

Best regards
