Tags are really appreciated by maintainers in general, since it means someone is willing to put their name on a commit, be it as a reviewer, tester, etc. However, signers (i.e. submitters carrying tags from previous versions and maintainers applying patches) may need to take or drop tags, on a case-by-case basis, for different reasons. Yet this is not explicitly spelled out in the documentation, thus there may be instances [1] where contributors may feel unwelcome. Thus, to clarify, state this clearly.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
