Yes.  Most kvm patches are From: other people, I just add my signoff 
(and definitely don't remote theirs).

Whether to change From: depends on the changes.  If you rewrite the 
patch, it's From: you.  If you just fix a couple of bugs, you generally 
leave From: alone.

You can always say "Based on initial patch from ...".
