One item. Again, fixable by me if you like.

This line needs to be unindented to ensure tags are listed on the
'patch-list' page (I think we should do this, IMO). If we don't want to
list them here, they should still be unindented and simply removed in
the PatchListSerializer code.

On another note, is there any advantage in displaying the tags per user,
rather than a cumulative count, like so:

    {
        "Reviewed-by": [
            "http://localhost:8000/api/1.0/people/28/"
        ]
    }

This could be dumb/poor-performing suggestion, so it's just that :)
