    Subject[PATCH] docs: Explicitly state ordering requirements for Co-developed-by
    Date
    Per Thomas' yet-to-be-merged "tip tree handbook"[1], Co-developed-by and
    Signed-off-by must be paired together, i.e. the co-authors' SOB mustn't
    be scattered willy-nilly, and the author's SOB must be the first SOB
    *after* the last Co-developed-by/Signed-off-by pair. Provide an example
    to eliminate any ambiguity.

    A Co-developed-by: states that the patch was also created by another developer
    along with the original author. This is useful at times when multiple people
