Right, but it is not needed for the commit author (here, the From:),
the second example given in the docs shows this:

From: From Author <from@author.example.org>

<changelog>

Co-developed-by: Random Co-Author <random@coauthor.example.org>
Signed-off-by: Random Co-Author <random@coauthor.example.org>
Signed-off-by: From Author <from@author.example.org>
Co-developed-by: Submitting Co-Author <sub@coauthor.example.org>
Signed-off-by: Submitting Co-Author <sub@coauthor.example.org>

and there is no third co-developer, so it's:

From: From Author <from@author.example.org>

<changelog>

Signed-off-by: From Author <from@author.example.org>
Co-developed-by: Submitting Co-Author <sub@coauthor.example.org>
Signed-off-by: Submitting Co-Author <sub@coauthor.example.org>

If I'm the From, and YiFei Zhu is the submitting co-developer, then
it's:

From: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>

<changelog>

Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>
Co-developed-by: YiFei Zhu <yifeifz2@illinois.edu>
Signed-off-by: YiFei Zhu <yifeifz2@illinois.edu>

which is what I suggested.
