If the patch changed significantly that review or testing is not appropriate, you could remove someone's tag but then you should ask for testing again. And you did not send it for testing. Your v4 only extended a comment which does not affect testing. All tags, review, ack and tested by should be added/preserved. Otherwise you ask for testing (or reviewing) and then do not credit this person. Neither maintainers know that patches were tested. Best regards, Krzysztof
