Not only what Viro said, but... that's not how things work in any Linux community. 1. Changes get pulled upstream only when the git tree owner is ready to have the changes pulled, which is indicated by them sending a pull request. 2. The person pulling someone elses git tree _never_ modifies commits which have been pulled from someone elses git tree, and that includes modifying them to add acks and such like. If Will is handling the patch, then you need to ask Will to add your attributations. The final point is that I've no idea until Will sends a pull request what the git tree URL is to pull this change. Please, wait for the proper process to happen.
