I don't know your background and I don't want to make any assumptions, so please
don't interpret anything in my attempt to clarify a bit.

As documented in [1] "any interested reviewer (who has done the work and is a
person with known identity) can offer a Reviewed-by tag for a patch".

An offer from anyone who has done this work is much appreciated.

Acked-by is usually used by stakeholders of the code (most commonly maintainers)
to indicate acceptance, e.g. for patch routing purposes. There are more details
in [2].
