Ah, sorry I slipped up here and should have noticed it didn't go directly to
Greg. Just to check, with everyone I have author as Dan, reporter as Maxin
and have signed off myself (it's going through my tree anyway now).

I think from looking back it was Dan's suggestion in response to Maxin's
patch.  Hence convention would be a sign off from Dan and perhaps an
Ack from Maxin?
