This can't be Reviewed-by either.  The signoff chain has to follow the
transmission path of the patch.  If you send me Jeff's patches, you have
to add a signoff because you're a direct part of the transmission path.
If Jeff sends me them, then he can give you Reviewed-by because you're
not then in the direct transmission path.  (Signoff is supposed to imply
reviewed by anyway, so the tagging is correct in either case).
