Hm, a simple "Signed-off-by:" should suffice.

Yeah. Here's a previous discussion, where Linus says:

So when you save a patch from oblivion by passing it on to the right person, and get it submitted when it was originally dropped by some reason, you're actually doing a fundamentally important job. Maybe it's just one small piece of the puzzle, but hey, you'd only get one small line in the changeset, so the credit (or blame ;) really is appropriate.
