I don't know the right way to do that because I had to pull
some of what was in the original patch out. Any way you would
like it done is fine with me.
I'm not sure if there is one perfect way. I typically see either a
"From: " line if the author is different from the submitter, or in
more complex cases such as this it seems like a simple note giving
credit in the description might be the best option.
