If the patch text was copied from his response message, you would start the _body_ of your e-mail as:
From: F.. C.. <felipe.contreras@gmail.com>
If $TEST_DIRECTORY is specified ... Signed-off-by: F.. C.. <felipe.contreras@gmail.com>
Signed-off-by: R Hansen <rhansen@...>
_after_ getting him say it is OK to add his Sign-off. The first
line in the body of your e-mail, "From: Real Author", followed by a
blank line, will signal to "git am" that you are forwarding a patch
by somebody else, and we record that real author on the "author"
line of the resulting commit object.On the other hand, if the patch is based on the _idea_ you gained by discussing with him, you would just mention it near your sign-off, like this:
If $TEST_DIRECTORY is specified ...
Helped-by: F... C... <felipe.contreras@gmail.com>
Signed-off-by: R... Hansen <rhansen@...>
