 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
