This sign-off chain is odd. It implies that the patch came from Colin
King, bnut it lacks authorship attribution.

So who authored this?

If it was Colin, there should have been a

    From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

at the top.

So either the authorship is broken, or the sign-off chain is. Which is it?
