No, I've never done that.  What I complain about is people sending
patches that they wrote themselves but which have different authorship
information in the file, usually because they've used a different e-mail
address.  This is a problem because it makes it look like it's a patch
that needs at least two signoffs as it wasn't written by the person
sending it so slows things down.  If there are actually two signoffs
there's no problem at all as that's what's expected.

If you look at git you'll see I fairly regularly apply patches which
were forwarded by someone else.

Please follow the process covered in SubmittingPatches - if you're
forwarding on a patch someone else wrote you need to preserve their
authorship and add your own signoff after theirs.
