The GNU Coding Standards say the converse:
| When you install someone else's changes, put the contributor's name
| in the change log entry rather than in the text of the entry. In other
| words, write this:
|
| 2002-07-14 John Doe <address@hidden>
|
| * sewing.c: Make it sew.
|
| rather than this:
|
| 2002-07-14 Usual Maintainer <address@hidden>
|
| * sewing.c: Make it sew. Patch by address@hidden
|
| As for the date, that should be the date you applied the change.
