Hm, I disagree. The -by: lines are somewhat in chronological order, so this
looks fine to me.

Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst says:
"""
Standard sign-off
procedure applies, i.e. the ordering of Signed-off-by: tags should reflect the
chronological history of the patch insofar as possible, regardless of whether
the author is attributed via From: or Co-developed-by:.  Notably, the last
Signed-off-by: must always be that of the developer submitting the patch.
"""

Yes, this doesn't address Acked-by: or Reviewed-by: lines, but in my experience,
chronological order applies to all of them.
