My SOB line is *only* there because I am publishing that patch in
linux-next.  When Andrew sends that patch to Linus, my SOB should not
be there (since I will no longer be in the handling path).  My SOB does
not say anything about the correctness or otherwise of the patch.

Equally, if you sent that patch to Linus, Andrew's SOB should
(probably) not be there.
