I can do this manually, but for future reference:

Nit, in general, the author's sign off should be first, followed by
reviewers and testers. The maintainer will add their sign off at the end
- this keeps things clear regarding the development and delivery path.
In general, assume chronological order and you'll have the right idea.

Informational tags, like Reported, Suggested, Tested, and Fixes can come
before the Author sign off, which is consistent with the chronological
order.
