Such contributions can be credited in the changelog, and/or copyright 
notices, and/or the code itself. The signoff chain on the other hand is 
strictly defined as a 'route the patch took', with a single point of 
origin, the main author. See Documentation/SubmittingPatches, pt 12.

[ A signoff chain _can_ signal multi-authored code where the code got 
  written by someone and then further fixed/developed by someone else - 
  who adds a SOB to the end - but in that case I expect to get the patch 
  from the last person in the signoff chain. ]

Thanks,

	Ingo
