Up until recently we've had the person doing the BK commit, plus person they received it from. That's identical to the two-level chain of custody which Larry was proposing as being "good enough" most of the time. But more recently, there have been changelog comments like this:
ChangeSet@1.1743.1.52, 2004-05-25 08:43:49-07:00, akpm@osdl.org [PATCH] minor sched.c cleanup
Signed-off-by: Christian Meder <chris@onestepahead.de> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
The following obviously correct patch from Christian Meder simplifies the DELTA() define.
Which do show the original author.
