Frankly, I don't know what's the correct thing to do in this case; maybe the
correct thing is to just keep the SoB, but list all the changes that have been
made.

Technically, the same thing is common practice when maintainers (including
myself) apply (minor) changes to a patch when applying them to their tree.

I mean, I don't have a preference and if I would have one, it wouldn't be
relevant. :) I just wanted to bring it up since the very first version was sent
by the two of them. So, I think we should just ask.
