Right, thanks for thinking about credit here.  The appropriate way to
do that would be to add a Helped-by trailer to the individual
commits, though especially for the first and last commit in the series
we probably don't deserve that much credit ;)  In past GSoC/Outreachy
projects I've also seen the Mentored-by trailer.

Other than Helped-by, which I've commonly used seen for this they do
seem to be (more or less) documented in SubmittingPatches [2].
