So the patch author should be in the From:

If Thor has changed the original patch considerably, then you Thor and
Dinh could decide amongst each other who should be the author.

If Thor becomes the author and lands in From:, then the commit message
could state something like "based on original work from Dinh" or
"Originally-from: Dinh" and so on. "git log" has some examples.

The SOB chain shows who handled the patch on its way upstream. So in
this case, it should be:

SOB: Dinh (if From: is Dinh - otherwise Originally-by:)
SOB: Thor
SOB: Boris

if I'm going to pick it up and send it to Linus.

Ok?
