William Casarin recently tweeted a link to the bitcoincore devs ACK
system[1], which are

Concept ACK - Agree with the idea and overall direction, but haven't
reviewed the code changes or tested them.

utACK (untested ACK) - Reviewed and agree with the code changes but
haven't actually tested them.

Tested ACK - Reviewed the code changes and have verified the
functionality or bug fix.

ACK - A loose ACK can be confusing. It's best to avoid them unless
it's a documentation/comment only change in which case there is
nothing to test/verify; therefore the tested/untested distinction is
not there.

NACK - Disagree with the code changes/concept. Should be accompanied
by an explanation.
