Yes, you should definitely keep authorship - simply state this in the
commit message, add your SOB, etc. However, I don't want to have messy
history for patches which haven't been reviewed yet. This complicates
review needlessly and makes absolutely no sense for later when you stare
at the history.

Thanks.
