I think that there is bigger threshold for being included one's name
in Suggested-by tag. You have few dozens of lines changed and only one
is suggested by me. And that one doesn't influence the initial idea,
just a format change.

So, I'm not against it per se, I just think it confuses more than attributes.

Summarize: I would not put it in this patch.
