In case you still have my patch to Documentation/process/5.Posting.rst
pending, we'll have a mismatch between Co-developed-by there (which has been
used a number of times in the past), and Co-Developed-by in
submitting-patches.rst and checkpatch and Co-developed-by (which was used
exactly once in Linus' tree). That should be coherent at least...
