Looking at this patch was on my TODO list (more to that in a bit), and
the simplest answer to this question is that everybody involved would
be cited in the release notes.  Justin Kwan has been the original
author.  John Hsu and Srinath have followed up in an equivalent
fashion, including answers with your review comments posted on this
previous message.  So listing all three as equivalent authors feels
normal to me (no need for co-authoring notes, IMO).
