The original format uses the author for that (author != committer in git), but that changes how we work a bit more. I'd be happy to just clal it "Author" rather than "Patch-by".
I also suggest a - in "Backpatch-through:" -- since all the others are intentionally mad ewithout a space, I assume that's for easier parsing.
They also had tested-by, it might be an idea to include that as well?
