Hmm. I'm a little currious how my original Signed-off-by got turned into a 
Reported-by for this patch?

This patch is *exactely* the one I submitted on Dec 24 in a message with 
Message-ID: <alpine.LNX.2.00.1012242020090.28973@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Ok, it's a trivial little thing, but still. When the patch is completely 
unchanged I think it's a little steep to change the original authors 
Signed-off-by and essentially claim authorship of the patch for one self.
