AFAIK, there are no rules limiting what tags you may use -- you can make up your own if you like. And people have. Here's what the kernel git says right now:

My suggestions are both there (far less often than "Reported-by:", but that's not surprising). I think "Analyzed-by:", "Debugged-by", "Diagnosed-by", "Originally-by:", or "Original-patch-by:" would also have worked.
If you don't filter out the tags with less than 10 uses, there are some fun ones. For example, "You're-my-ding-a-ling-by:" should be used more often. :)
