The rule is that it has author information which I did include.
Admittedly "RP" is a little cryptic but I think people can figure it out
by now and its an established convention for me by now. I've questioned
the rational of Signed-off-by in this context before but it seems people
find it easier and it doesn't particularly bother me...

As for the Upstream-Status, I should have included that and will add it,
thanks.
