Hi all In most cases we work on our patches from the beginning to the end, but from time to time it happens, that someone originates a patch but then becomes (temporarily) unable to continue with new reviews, so, someone picks it up from there and brings to a final form. Or simply even several persons work closely on one patch. A yet another case is, when someone posts a rough first version of a patch, but then someone else heavily reworks it and becomes the actual submitting author of the patch, still, the original author should be mentioned somehow too.
Currently we can do something like From: Original Author <...> Signed-off-by: Original Author <...> [contributor-2@...: continued patch development since v2] Signed-off-by: New Contributor <contributor-2@...> But is this sufficient, wouldn't a "Co-authored-by" tag be a better match for similar situations?
