This SOB chain says that Yu-cheng is the author and then you've received
it from him, have done something to it (which we sometimes put in [] to
denote it) and then you've sent it out.

The tip maintainer which applies it will add his SOB too, at the end.

Let me ask you this: what exactly do you want to express with the SOB
chain?

Just a reminder: the SOB chain should give a clear and precise
representation of the patch path from author to upstream.
