Right, but it is not needed for the commit author (here, the From:),
the second example given in the docs shows this:

From: From Author <from@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

<changelog>

Co-developed-by: Random Co-Author <random@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Signed-off-by: Random Co-Author <random@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Signed-off-by: From Author <from@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Co-developed-by: Submitting Co-Author <sub@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Signed-off-by: Submitting Co-Author <sub@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

and there is no third co-developer, so it's:

From: From Author <from@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

<changelog>

Signed-off-by: From Author <from@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Co-developed-by: Submitting Co-Author <sub@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Signed-off-by: Submitting Co-Author <sub@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

If I'm the From, and YiFei Zhu is the submitting co-developer, then
it's:

From: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

<changelog>

Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Co-developed-by: YiFei Zhu <yifeifz2@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Signed-off-by: YiFei Zhu <yifeifz2@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

which is what I suggested.
