Since it's your idea with Dmitry's review suggestions, I don't think
this tag makes sense.
It's normally used for situations like:
Colleague X: "Hey Bibek, I noticed x broke on y, can you fix it?"
"Sure!" <proceeds to make a commit with suggested-by Colleague X>
Just a nit below:

This, can go here, in the header:

Otherwise, this looks good!
