Having the author/subsystem attribution on separate lines was a deliberate design decision made by me, so that (1) cutting and pasting Linus would prefer to do stays easier, and (2) giving the credits more prominently in a default format. There is a paragraph break before the attribution begins anyway, and I think eyes easily learn to scan for paragraphs that begin "By " instead of " * ".
