I tend to put the credit in the patch description text, /without/ an email address by default, since I don't feel as comfortable stamping users' email addresses into the kernel changelog without their permission, and (I'm lazy) asking permission is another email round-trip. So my format is
blah blah blah patch description blah blah blah blah blah blah patch description blah blah blah blah blah blah patch description blah blah blah
