To each their own, I suppose, but...
If you look at what happens when Andrew dumps a thousand patches to
Linus this isn't how it is handled.
"Author" is always who wrote the patch, and I think it's important to
be consistent in that area.
Stephen Rothwell isn't the "Author" of this patch any more than you
are Jeff. By your own logic, you are saying that you could have just
as equally put yourself in the Author field since hey, you're
effectively submitting the patch to me via your tree right? :-)
