Thanks, Alex. I usually keep an eye on the patches that I ever
reviewed and follow them until they are merged or rejected. More
comments would be given if I have. Otherwise, everthing is fine.
Yes, it's always nice to copy those who reviewed the patch.

For this one, my reviewed-by is still valid.

Thanks,
