Ah, got it. So I guess from the perspective of "b4" every time the
author modifies a patch (like adding new tags to it) then it's a new
application of Signed-off-by and thus the old Signed-off-by is removed
from the top and a new one is added below all the tags that have been
received. Thus if b4 grabs all the tags off the mailing list for
applying it ends up in a different order than if it grabs all the tags
off the mailing list for sending a new version.

OK, I can understand that perspective. I'll keep it in mind.
