A properly formed S-o-b line has the email address too... but in any case I
don't think it should be necessary in this case.  First of all the patch is a
pretty trivial one-liner... but in any case as I understand things I should be
able to submit patches from our company's internal tree and both preserve
authorship (ie "From: Steve") but also be the first person sending it out.

Looking at "Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1" in SubmittingPatches, I
guess I am certifying (b), ie

        (b) The contribution is based upon previous work that, to the best
            of my knowledge, is covered under an appropriate open source
            license and I have the right under that license to submit that
            work with modifications, whether created in whole or in part
            by me, under the same open source license (unless I am
            permitted to submit under a different license), as indicated
            in the file; or

(Since I actually did write the changelog for the patch)

 - R.
