I actually think that tested-by and reviewed-by is not "signing", because it is not the person who does the "tag insertion".
it was one of the signed-off-by's who put the reviewed- and testet-tags in there. presumably this is done in agreement with the mentioned person.
And for facts, please check this out:
$ git log --since=1-year-ago | grep -Pi "(reported|tested)-by:.*@" \ | cut -f2- -d":" | sort | uniq | wc -l 1280
so i would say, these numbers (combied with your top ten which accounts for only 318 signatures ) suggest that those mentioned with these tag's are one-off bug reporters and not maintainers.
cheers, Flo
