Looks good.
I guess you used 'git apply' or just 'patch'
What you usually do when applying someone else mostly unchanged
patches is use 'git am -s -3' so you preserve the original author and
original commit message including the Signed-of-by line.
You can edit your patch by hand to change the From: line to change the
author and add
Signed-off-by: Amir Goldstein <amir73il@...il.com>
(you sign below me as you changed the patch last)

As you can see in my original posting, this part comes after the ---
line which means it will not be included in the commit message,
because the specific development history of this patch may be interesting
for reviewers but it is less interesting in the context of git log.
