If you send someone's patch, you need to sign this off. That says
you are legally allowed to send it along.
Ack means "I have a say in this area and it looks good to me", you
add it when someone else is doing the sending.
Ok, so is it still a From: Arnd then? Is it still signed-off by Arnd
even though I change it?
Yes. Most kvm patches are From: other people, I just add my signoff
(and definitely don't remote theirs).
Whether to change From: depends on the changes. If you rewrite the
patch, it's From: you. If you just fix a couple of bugs, you generally
leave From: alone.
Is there a Based-on-patch-by: tag? :-)
You can always say "Based on initial patch from ...".
