I don't believe Krzysztof is questioning the validity of your
offline reviews, but the community is unaware of what happens
in your closed environment.

If you submit a patch with the r-b tag, it holds little
significance for me since I haven't witnessed the review process
myself. However, you are, of course, free to include it; I have
no objections to that.

My suggestion is for Fabrizio to publicly express his review on
this mailing list, which would add more value to the time he
spent reviewing your patch.

By the way, there are other companies that do this.
