No. As I explained above. The Signed-off-by is a chain. The first one is
from the author. The following ones are from people who handled,
transported or applied the patch.
See Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst the chapter:
Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1
for further clarification.
Unfortunately we have no canonical way to express joint develoment, but we
have used non formal tags for that, like
Co-developed-by:
which give credits to the people who were involved in the development.
