Thanks for spotting, but it's worse than that. It does have a sign-off
from its author, but the authorship wasn't preserved by Stefan Agner
(no From: line in the email body, as there was in Steven's original
post to the mailing list.) I'll fix that in the next few days.

Hm, not sure how that exactly happened. I uploaded a patch file
generated by git format-patch using the web interface, there was still a
header:

after
boot

I probably should have added the line to the message field?

Sorry about that!
