Hi jon, thanks for another tip. I also learn contributing patches the
hard way by being rejected (honestly sometimes I learn, sometimes I
don't).

Let me clarify the situation. Previously in v2, I reviewed Costa's patch
by replying with proposing my own version, keeping patch author intact.
There, I categorized a few more items while sorting all of them. I
treated it as minor fixup that was attributed by brackets in the
SoB area (I could also use Co-developed-by: for this purpose too).
Then, Costa rerolled v3 using my version, but the From: address
in the patch message is mine without corresponding SoB, hence when you
apply his v3, there would be author mismatch (commit author is me
yet different SoB from him). I expected that my proposal in v2 is
carried by him (and also have SoB from both me and him as the sender
who carried my patch).

I'm too, because I'm AuDHD and I can (and do) easily distracted; living
in a paradox between routine fixation and desire for quick action :).

Thanks.
