As to what I know, this would not have been necessary in this case. I 
missed the missing parameter while reviewing and you fixed it with this 
new version, so you obviously improved the patch with a minor change and 
it wouldn't be working without this anyway. So I think in such cases you 
would typically keep the R-b tags.

Also if you drop the R-b tag from one of the patches in your set, you 
should instead CC the reviewer for the whole set. Otherwise 
get_maintainer will only CC the reviewer for those patches that contain 
his tag. In this case I wasn't CCed for patch 3/3.

Thanks,
Frieder
