I see that page says 'Note that you should not put r+ nor r- on patches in
such unofficial reviews' with respect to a non-reviewer doing a shadow
review.
I can't see the extrapolation from that to 'you can't r- your own patches'.
I thought r-'ing your own patch was a relatively common practice when
uploading a WIP patch, as a signal that 'I have no intention of landing
this patch', and as a courtesy so a reviewer will not waste any time
looking at it (unless specifically asked).
I don't see why I wouldn't be allowed to r- my own patch?
