Actually, you don't need to worry now. I already applied the patch
with the correct author applied with your Ack.

As I say, this situation is a bit different, but in the normal case,
yes. Then the Maintainer will probably remove some and chop them
around a little to his/her liking.

FYI: The top SoB is usually the author, the subsequent ones are
usually gatekeepers of upstream repos. Anyone can take a patch and
submit it though, so in the case where the submitter isn't the author,
the second SoB is usually the patch submitter.
