For some code Gerd is the author, and i am the co-Author. We even have
Jan in the mix at places. At least in copyright headers.

I will remain the committer for the three of us. And since i do not
know exactly what the problem is i will add only my Signed-off to avoid
confusion.

Please speak up it that would be wrong as well and point me to the docs
i missed. Or tell me how it should be done.

I will check both again if a find a pattern, otherwise will wait for
maintainers to complain and hopefully suggest.

I do not get this, it is almost easter egg order time. Please explain.
