These look unusual for a few reasons: your S-o-b should be at the
end, we usually say Helped-by: instead, and we do not use these with
multiple names on a single line.

Please do not try to be original without a good reason.  We may
start counting the number of times people appear on these footers to
see how much contribution those who do not directly author commits
(read: those who mentor others) are making.

The comment I gave in the thread that ends at $gmane/265112 would
apply equally to this patch, I think.

cf. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/264986/focus=265112
