They are the authors of the patches, but you are the committer i.e. you
are on the path form the authors to Linus, so you need to add a
Signed-off-by tag as well.  I see Linus has merged theses commits now,
so there is nothing to be done for them, but in the future please add a
Signed-off-by tag for anything that you commit.

See section 11 of Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst
