I hope that's true.

Which is likely as useful as judging engineer
productivity by LOC counts.

True, but meh.

I think all the Suggested-by, Reported-by,
Co-developed-by and such are mostly unnecessary.

Who really cares for anything other than
signed-off-by, acked-by, tested-by, and
maybe reviewed-by ?

Maybe the kernel should add a signature for
"Co-authored-by:" instead of "Co-developed-by:"

Perhaps another option would be to extend
the git commit "Author:" attribute to allow
multiple names and addresses.
