It didn't CC him so far as I can see...  BCC?

Signed-of-by basically means you handled the code but didn't secretly
insert any of SCO's top secret UNIX code into the patch.  It's sort of
a legal thing.

It sort of sounds like Andrey is reviewing your code?  In that case,
probably Reviewed-by is the correct tag.

Normally the tags are sort of in chronoligical order.

Reported-by: Sally
Signed-off-by: Bob
Reviewed-by: Mary
Signed-off-by: Subsystem Maintainer

So it always confuses me when the first person to Sign off isn't the
author.
