As Simon mentioned, there weren't big changes, but here's a quick cookbook:

1. If you have the authority to approve a patch and believe the patch
you are reviewing is ready to be merged, add the following line to your
e-mail (usually at the end): Approved-by: Your Name <your_email@example.com>

2. If you don't have the authority to approve patches, or aren't
convinced that you know enough about the area of code to fully approve a
patch for merging, and haven't found any technical issues (i.e.
non-nitpicks) with the patch, add the following line to your e-mail:
Reviewed-by: Your Name <your_email@example.com>

3. If you aren't sure of the quality of the technical changes, but you
have tested and verified that the patch does not add any regressions,
add the following line to your e-mail: Tested-by: Your Name
<your_name@example.com>

I hope this clears up any confusion!

Cheers,
Bruno
