This is currently enabled on the PCI mailing list and I have found it
useful there. It makes it trivial to distinguish between "Sashiko
reviewed the patch and found no issues" and "Sashiko did not review
the patch" (could not apply it, backend bugs, whatever) without having
to go to the Sashiko web UI to confirm. I can stay entirely on the
mailing list.

But I am ok with dropping it if you feel strongly. It is a small thing.
