You're supposed to give signoffs from each of the entities whose hands the patch passed through ... unless you've taken to emailing your own patches to yourself, this doesn't look right ... Could you just pick one? If it's about credit, then the reporting stats go by Author. All three signoffs will do is inflate your rank in the Signed-off-by stats (which I suppose we use for the kernel summit), but I don't think it will give equal credit to the three entities. James
