 Hello,

 The function `wp_redirect()`and `wp_safe_redirect()` are accepting a 3rd
 parameter `$x_redirected_by` which is by default `WordPress`.

 This 3rd parameter is really useful to debug redirection but only few
 plugins are using it.
 I only know Polylang, Yoast SEO and Redirection by John Godley which are
 using it. All other redirections made by a third party (theme or plugins)
 are signed `WordPress` which is misleading.

 I think we should change the default value to something more generic like
 `Not Signed` and add `WordPress`to the real redirections made by the Core.

 I do not really know how many redirections WordPress do but I think it
 would really help lots of developers.
