Not sure it is documented anywhere. It appeared to be the widely
used, most sensible approach, so I adopted it a few years ago.

This method provides us with information which would otherwise be
absent; including description of the patch submission/acceptance path
and an idea of who did what, when.

For example:

Original Author sign-off
Original Co-author sign-off
[Additional contributions: rebase, API changes, fix-ups]
Re-worker's sign-off
Tester's tested-by
Reviewer's acked-by/reviewed-by
Level-2 Maintainer sign-off
Level-1 Maintainer sign-off

Are you aware of a more functional/practical/useful method?
