There's certainly a strong correlation between "first sign-off" and
authorship, but signing off doesn't guarantee it, and while it's not the
bulk of patches, it certainly happens that people sign off on patches made
by others (either because the company has specific people who have the
right to sign off on things, or simply because the code comes from some
source that did GPL it, but perhaps didn't sign off on it - hopefully
rare, but certainly not impossible or unheard of especially for
one-liners that got picked up from mailing lists etc)
