Public or not doesn't really matter. However, you can only apply a
Reviewed-by: tag (or any tag, really) if you explicitly received one.
The exchange seems to suggest that you did not receive that tag.
Please never add any tags on your own.

On the other side, if the reviewer did send a Reviewed-by: tag off list,
I would kindly ask the reviewer to not do that in the future to avoid
misunderstandings. If you don't want your Reviewed-by: tag attached to
a patch, don't send one. Not everyone will even realize that you sent
your tag off-list, and no one can be expected to know that you didn't
really mean it when you sent your tag.

Thanks,
