The SubmittingPatches doc suggests adding "tags" in the style of "Signed-off-by" to commit messages, and suggests some in common usage. However, based on usage on the Git mailing list (and in particular, Junio C Hamano's email to René Genz on 23 April), the suggested "Thanks-to" is not common usage, and should instead be "Helped-by".
