Both, you and Stefan are required to sign-off. The submitter is also
required to sign-off even if the submitter makes no code change.

See https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/submitting-patches.html:
"""
Any further SoBs (Signed-off-by:'s) following the author's SoB are from
people handling and transporting the patch, but were not involved in its
development. SoB chains should reflect the real route a patch took as it
was propagated to the maintainers and ultimately to Linus, with the
first SoB entry signalling primary authorship of a single author.
"""

It also applies to the maintainer when they apply your patches.
