In typical FreeBSD parlance, we use one or both of:

Reviewed by:	whomever
Approved by:	whomever

The former states that the persons(s) in question have at least read, and 
possibly also tested, the changes, and is vouching for their reasonableness.

The latter states that the person(s) in question have authorized a commit, 
typically in the role of a subsystem maintainer, mentor, release engineer, or 
security officer.  Sometimes it comes in the form:

Approved by:	re (whomever)
Approved by:	security-officer (whomever)
Approved by:	whomever (mentor)

I don't claim that this is consistent. :-)

I've noticed an increasing number of "OKed" commits lately -- I'd prefer it if 
we stuck to our existing nomenclature with respect to how we annotate changes 
with respect to review and approval.  Among other things, it makes the commit 
messages more mechanically parseable, and avoids ambiguity.
