In fact it was _bisected_ by Eric Paris, so a Bisected-by tag is a must.

Eric is a nice guy and i'm sure wont complain about this, but i can tell it 
with a 100% certainty that to most testers and developers bisecting bugs is a 
tiresome and error-prone process that involves quite a bit of work.

Bisecting a bug is often more work to do than the work which went into the 
original commit and the revert, combined.

So if we want more people to test our commits then the least we can do is to 
credit testers by making proper use of the Reported-by and Bisected-by tags.
