Such contributions can be credited in the changelog, and/or copyright notices, and/or the code itself. The signoff chain on the other hand is strictly defined as a 'route the patch took', with a single point of origin, the main author. See Documentation/SubmittingPatches, pt 12. [ A signoff chain _can_ signal multi-authored code where the code got written by someone and then further fixed/developed by someone else - who adds a SOB to the end - but in that case I expect to get the patch from the last person in the signoff chain. ] Thanks, Ingo -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-arch" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
