In the past I sometimes used "Submitted by (someguy, initial patch)" and
still think it is a good thing.

Creating an initial port is not only about typing something in the text
editor, but also figuring out how to build the software. This is also quite
an effort sometimes, invisible for the commiter, and I believe it should be
credited.
