Having the author/subsystem attribution on separate lines was a
deliberate design decision made by me, so that (1) cutting and
pasting Linus would prefer to do stays easier, and (2) giving the
credits more prominently in a default format.  There is a paragraph
break before the attribution begins anyway, and I think eyes easily
learn to scan for paragraphs that begin "By " instead of " * ".
