Could you tell me where this process is described ?

The closest description I could find is:

1) Backport the commit as-is (i.e the Author is the original Author)
2) Add the tag Origin (recently introduced)
3) Add your signed-off-by

So following this theory, if we import a file from Linux we should list all the 
people who contributed to it since it was created ?

Technically yes.

Cheers,
