I assume this will come through Andrew, so it depends on whether he is so
resigned to manually adding acks from following threads or not.

Personally, I think it's one of the responsibilities of the person pushing
the patch to do. Having the acked-by and reviewed-by trail should be one
of the things that makes it _way_ easier for upstream to decide whether a
patch should go in - especially if the people in question are active
maintainers.
