docs: submitting-patches: clarify that signers may use their discretion on tags

Tags are really appreciated by maintainers in general, since it means
someone is willing to put their name on a commit, be it as a reviewer,
tester, etc.

However, signers (i.e. submitters carrying tags from previous versions
and maintainers applying patches) may need to take or drop tags, on a
case-by-case basis, for different reasons.

Yet this is not explicitly spelled out in the documentation, thus there
may be instances [1] where contributors may feel unwelcome.

Thus, to clarify, state this clearly.
