The patch was from Kristen, but ...

... it was firstly signed by Sean and then Kristen, which doesn't sound right.

If the patch was from Kristen, then either Sean's SoB should come after
Kristen's (which means Sean took Kristen's patch and signed it), or you need to
have a Co-developed-by tag for Sean right before his SoB (which indicates Sean
participated in the development of the patch but likely he wasn't the main
developer).

But I _guess_ the patch was just from Sean.

You don't need 'Cc:' Sean if the patch has Sean's SoB.

by" section here:
