Agreed. Tang Chen, please also spell it out in the changelog:

   David Rientjes reported a boot crash, caused by
   commit XYZ ("foo: bar").

I find it somewhat annoying that you found time to credit a corporate 
collegue with a Tested-by tag, who didn't even reply to the whole 
thread to indicate his testing efforts, but you didn't find the time 
to credit the original reporter of the bug who also reviewed your 
patches ...

Thanks,

	Ingo
