Here's my sign-off if you want to retain Co-authored-by: > > Signed-off-by: Eric Sunshine <sunshine@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> I am not in principle opposed to the idea of co-authored-by; for this particular one, we historically have used Helped-by (i.e. a reviewer offers "writing it this way is cleaner" suggestions on the list and then gets credited on the next version), and it wasn't clear to me if you consented to be a co-author of the patch. If the party who were named as a co-author responded that it is OK, I would be perfectly fine.
