James prepared the backports before we merged the patches into mainline. BTW, I also corrected a subject typo: s/vaxoricism/vaxorcism/ (not that this is a real word ;)).

My understanding is that the commit log should stay as close to the original as possible, with potential additions to indicate deviations from the upstream patch. I'm happy to *add* another RB once I have reviewed the patch, just like I add another SoB when I backport a patch on which I signed-off the first place. Thanks, M.
