Something slightly more declarative I managed to hack up:
This looks great! Will use for v2 and mark you as a coauthor, thank you :D
(let me know if there's a better way to do that also, still learning the process)
Cool!  You can add these before your S-o-b line:

	Co-authored-by: Tuomas Ahola [off-list ref]
	Signed-off-by: Tuomas Ahola [off-list ref]

That seems to be the usual formula for marking coauthors (cf. [1] for a random
example).
I wasn't sure what `$.` was before but this makes it clear that it's the current
line number (and https://perldoc.perl.org/perlvar agrees). Apparently
`$ARGV` is the name of the current file. (different from @ARGV)
Yes, the Perl syntax is... interesting.
