Haven't looked at them yet.

Yes, and you can see what you're doing in the patch itself.

The tag's name is Co-developed-by: and yes, I think it makes more sense here.

Note:

"Since Co-developed-by: denotes authorship, every Co-developed-by: must be
immediately followed by a Signed-off-by: of the associated co-author.
Standard sign-off procedure applies, i.e. the ordering of Signed-off-by: tags
should reflect the chronological history of the patch insofar as possible,
regardless of whether the author is attributed via From: or Co-developed-by:.
Notably, the last Signed-off-by: must always be that of the developer
submitting the patch."

It is all documented:
