Hello, Peter.

My intented meaning (of my Acked-by) is:

“I agree that this patch is valuable in general, I took a look at the code
changes and they look good to me implementation-wise, but I am not a
reviewer nor an expert in rst and related areas, so I am not comfortable
“reviewing-it-by” - however as a potential user/writer of rst files, I want
to acknowledge the significance and the rightness of the patch by
“acking-it-by”.”

I am not sure how it fits in other definitions, but I am comfortable with
your changing my “Acked-by” to “Reviewed-by”, leaving it as is, or changing
it to nothing- whatever you deem being suitable.

The same applies to the other patch of this series, of course.

Yours,
Aleksandar
