This sob block is wrong since it doesn't have your name in it. And it has
a lot of other peoples name in it who might or might not have touched
this.

In general after piles of rebases and reworks it's usually better to claim
authorship of the thing, acknowledge the original author in the commit
message and put everyone with a sob into the Cc: list.

Sobs really should document how was passed around, not how it was
developed. So internally that pile of sobs makes sense (to chase patches
through internal trees) but for upstream submission we can trim them a
lot.

Note this isn't about your patch here really, I've seen this happen more
and more for some vpg submissions and it's getting a bit excessive.
