Instead of having the "acked-by" in the changeset, we could have it
implicit in the history:
* Everyone with commit access has their own branch
- org.openembedded.dev.<username>
* Someone else reviewes/compiletestes the changes and then merges the
branch into .dev
- The name of the reviewer then appears in the merge
Trivial changes might go into .dev directly...
