+Reviewing and testing patches
+-----------------------------
+
+With the amount of patches sent to the mailing list each day, the
+maintainer has a very hard job to judge which patches are ready to apply
+and which ones aren't. Contributors can greatly help here by reviewing
+and testing these patches.
+
+In the review process, do not hesitate to respond to patch submissions
+for remarks, suggestions or anything that will help everyone to
+understand the patches and make them better. Please use internet
+style replies in plain text emails when responding to patch
+submissions.
+
+To indicate approval of a patch, there are three formal tags that keep
+track of this approval. To add your tag to a patch, reply to it with the
+approval tag below the original author's Signed-off-by line. These tags
+will be picked up automatically by patchwork (see
+ref:apply-patches-patchwork[]) and will be part of the commit log when
+the patch is accepted.
+
+Tested-by:: Indicates that the patch has been tested successfully.
+  You are encouraged to specify what kind of testing you performed
+  (compile-test on architecture X and Y, runtime test on target A,
+  ...). This additional information helps other testers and the
+  maintainer.
+
+Reviewed-by:: Indicates that you code-reviewed the patch and did your
+  best in spotting problems, but you are not sufficiently familiar with
+  the area touched to provide an Acked-by tag. This means that there
+  may be remaining problems in the patch that would be spotted by
+  someone with more experience in that area. Should such problems be
+  detected, your Reviewed-by tag remains appropriate and you cannot
+  be blamed.
+
+Acked-by:: Indicates that you code-reviewed the patch and you are
+  familiar enough with the area touched to feel that the patch can be
+  committed as-is (no additional changes required). In case it later
+  turns out that something is wrong with the patch, your Acked-by could
+  be considered inappropriate. The difference between Acked-by and
+  Reviewed-by is thus mainly that you are prepared to take the blame on
+  Acked patches, but not on Reviewed ones.
+
+If you reviewed a patch and have comments on it, you should simply reply
+to the patch stating these comments, without providing a Reviewed-by or
+Acked-by tag. These tags should only be provided if you judge the patch
+to be good as it is.
+
+It is important to note that neither Reviewed-by nor Acked-by imply
+that testing has been performed. To indicate that you both reviewed and
+tested the patch, provide two separate tags (Reviewed/Acked-by and
+Tested-by).
+
+Note also that _any developer_ can provide Tested/Reviewed/Acked-by
+tags, without exception, and we encourage everyone to do this. Buildroot
+does not have a defined group of _core_ developers, it just so happens
+that some developers are more active than others. The maintainer will
+value tags according to the track record of their submitter. Tags
+provided by a regular contributor will naturally be trusted more than
+tags provided by a newcomer. As you provide tags more regularly, your
+'trustworthiness' (in the eyes of the maintainer) will go up, but _any_
+tag provided is valuable.
+
+Buildroot's Patchwork website can be used to pull in patches for testing
+purposes. Please see xref:apply-patches-patchwork[] for more
+information on using Buildroot's Patchwork website to apply patches.
