Hm? I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean by that. Do you think
the credit is undeserved?

Oh right. I believed that Bryan Wu is the maintainer who would
eventually apply the patch, therefore I put him as a direct recipient
of the e-mail (To-field) and that he would add his Signed-off-by line
which would make the Cc-line redundant. I guess it makes some sense to
also list the maintainer in the patch Ccs since the patch itself may
be separate from the raw e-mail (e.g. in mail archives, which
generally don't display To: or Cc: fields). I didn't realize this
before.

Thanks.
