In case they help with the verification of the change, I suggest adding
Tested-By which is just as important.
>From https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/SubmittingPatches :

A Tested-by: tag indicates that the patch has been successfully tested (in
some environment) by the person named.  This tag informs maintainers that
some testing has been performed, provides a means to locate testers for
future patches, and ensures credit for the testers.
