For future reference: No need to send v+1 just for this tag. Usually
maintainers pick up tags from the last round without the original
author having to send out a v+1 with the tags. Of course, if you make
other corrections and need to send a v+1, then it is appropriate to
collect tags where those tags would remain valid (such as on unchanged
patches part of the series, or for simpler corrections).
