Actually, you should never add someone else's signed-off-by unless they specifically ask you to. The signed-off-by lines are supposed to show the path that the patch took to get into the tree, so in general only the original author(s) and the maintainers who passed the patch along should add signed-off-by lines. It would only be a maintainer who would add someone else's signed-off-by, and then only if someone who needs to sign off on the patch had forgotten and then asked the maintainer to correct their mistake. In this case the appropriate way to give credit would be just a sentence in the patch description; no formal tag is needed.
