This is a rather odd notation...

The way git-commit works, any committer's Signed-off-by will be placed
directly under the documentation chunk, but it's supposed to cover the
whole commit/patch, not just some aspect of it.

Since as you write, the code is his, the patch should have his From, his
Signed-off-by and finally your Signed-off-by. You can detail your
changes in [AB: ...] or similar between the Signed-off-bys. (To change
the authorship, use git commit --amend --author="Name <email>".)

Andreas
