Note that under normal circumstances, if the only change is the
tags that people added in replies, you don't need to do this.

Patchwork accumulates all of the signoffs, acks, tested-by,
reviewed-by, etc. tags made in replies to the patch automatically for
me, so when I apply the patch they will be there.
