In the end I would like not to post a patch with "From: != me" and
don't make change which the original author did not do. Also dropping
their authorship isn't nice. What could we agree on?

You probably don't want to change authorship unless the final patch is
really far from the original one. In which case you can change it and
mention the original author name in the commit log.
If you have only made a few changes on top of the original patch, please
say so explicitely in the commit log. Don't bother if we're talking
about small changes or cosmetic ones. But your commit log has to be
readable and clear.

Commit 06c9494 on of many examples where cosmetic are recorded. But to
make some progress I rewrite the commit log to resolve this and don't
add anything to the sign-off area.

Cheers,
Samuel.
