So I have nothing against the patch, but the changelog is broken.

Is Tim the original author? If so, why wasn't that noted? I'm just
guessing from that random signed-off line in the middle of the thing.

Please guys, don't drop authorship attributions, or alternatively
don't confuse me with odd random sign-off lines in the middle of the
message.
