Just on this, only use the co-developed-by if you actually *modified* the patch. If you're just transmitting the patch unmodified you can give original author credit by including a From: original author Followed by a blank line at the beginning of the email. That makes the git author field contan whatever the From: line says. You still need a signoff from yourself in the original patch because you transmitted it. Some people also consider minor modifications to be insufficient to disturb the original copyright ownership and simply document what they did in square brackets under their signoff, like this: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=b5d1e6ee761a109400e97ac6a1b91c57d0f6a43a Regards, James
