From Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst:
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.
I won't apply this patch anyway, so it is for others to decide if
"this attribution is within the guidelines". I stand by earlier
statement.
Thanks,
Guenter
