I've been going around editing From: lines recently, in cases where it's
obvious.  I did so with this patch - please let me know if that is
inappropariate.


So the patch will hit bk as:

From: Thibaut VARENE <varenet@parisc-linux.org>
Signed-off-by: Thibaut VARENE <varenet@parisc-linux.org>
Signed-off-by: Antonino Daplas <adaplas@pol.net>
Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org>


So

a) Thibaut will be identified in the bk logs as the author

b) His name will appear in the short-form changelogs, etc.

c) The Signed-off-by: line will note that Tony and I also handled this
   patch, and possibly made small changes to it.

I do this so that contributors get suitable credit, and so that bug
reporters have a better chance of finding who to email on the first
attempt.
