Most notably because I don't want to mix things up with the sign-off, because authorship and sign-off are really separate things (sign-offs accumulate, authorship stays), but also because it's not entirely unambiguous to parse these things. With the "first line only" rule, it ends up being pretty clear what's going on when the script suddenly ate one line.. Linus
