      80 Co-developed-by:
      40 Co-Developed-by:

So which should it be?

btw: I prefer neither as I think Signed-off-by: is sufficient

IMO neither is only an option if you comfortable with the script generating false warnings.

If you wont apply the patch anyway I wont pursue it further.
Otherwise please let me know I will also update the documentation to match the commit.

TIA
