Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Resolve Co-Developed-by issues

Recently tag Co-Developed-by was added (via a patch to
Documention/process/5.Posting.rst).

see https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/11/16/257

There has already been some discontent expressed over this tag.

A recent patch using the tag generated this response from  akmp (on LKML)

	I prefer not to include tags which aren't listed in
	Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst, but I now see that
	some bright spark added Co-Developed-by: to
	Documentation/process/5.Posting.rst, so the two files are a)
	duplicative and b) out of sync

Also, there has been comment over the use of the second capitalized
character 'D'.

This patch set attempts to either resolve this issue or bury it for
good. 

May the bike shedding begin :)
