You probably want to keep my sign-off for the USART/timer commit though as that
was new code.
Linux offers a Co-developed-by, some QEMU developers started to use it.
Co-developed-by: states that the patch was co-created by multiple
developers; it is a used to give attribution to co-authors (in
addition to the author attributed by the From: tag) when several
people work on a single patch. Since Co-developed-by: denotes
authorship, every Co-developed-by: must be immediately followed
by a Signed-off-by: of the associated co-author. Standard sign-off
procedure applies, i.e. the ordering of Signed-off-by: tags should
reflect the chronological history of the patch insofar as possible,
regardless of whether the author is attributed via From: or
Co-developed-by:. Notably, the last Signed-off-by: must always be
that of the developer submitting the patch.

what do you think?.
Fine for me, but maybe you should mention her in the patch description
if she made significant changes?
Sarah, what do you think?
Anyway, if the patch is originally from you, you should also remove the
"From: Sarah ..." line from the patch. For this, you likely have to
change the author of the patch in your git tree with "git commit --amend
--reset-author".
