That's not the way it's done, as I said, the patch needs to start with a 
single line like this:

From: Ravikiran Thirumalai <kiran@...lex86.org>

and if that person signed it off, then it needs to appear as

Signed-off-by: ...

as the first one in the chain.  Please see part 15 of section 1 of 
Documentation/SubmittingPatches.
