Best to include their signoffs, if possible.

These patches are based in part on a bunch of different patches from
these people (for which I did receive signoffs).  I was reluctant to put
their signoff directly on the new patches, since I didn't want to make
it look like they had submitted the patch in anything resembling its
current form.  I wanted to give them credit for what they did, but not
blame for what I did with their code.

Signoffs are for assigning neither credit nor blame, but for attributing
authorship and affirming that a contributor has the right to contribute
code or pass it along.  Please read the DCO at
https://lwn.net/Articles/437739/.

It's okay to miss them from time to time, especially for established
contributors, but avoid it whenever possible.

I have a truly marvellous patch that fixes the bug which this
signature is too narrow to contain.
