When I do minor or no change from a contributor's patch I commit
I usually do the following:

0) go into appropriate branch
1) git apply user.patch
... review - test - modify loop
2) git commit --author="Rolf Eike Beer <[email protected]>"  -s
... push as usual.

the --author will setup appropriate authorship and -s add the
Signed-Off message.
This gives something like:
http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commit;h=b22fcfb0c55ec145a4cf7405120c708fa136d928

other commiter do add (?manually?) an "Inspired-by:" line):
http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commit;h=8dfe74c358c5c5b364341a5fda1a43281d5bcc97

my 2 cents to respect authorship.
