Linux offers a Co-developed-by, some QEMU developers started to use it.

  Co-developed-by: states that the patch was co-created by multiple
  developers; it is a used to give attribution to co-authors (in
  addition to the author attributed by the From: tag) when several
  people work on a single patch. Since Co-developed-by: denotes
  authorship, every Co-developed-by: must be immediately followed
  by a Signed-off-by: of the associated co-author. Standard sign-off
  procedure applies, i.e. the ordering of Signed-off-by: tags should
  reflect the chronological history of the patch insofar as possible,
  regardless of whether the author is attributed via From: or
  Co-developed-by:. Notably, the last Signed-off-by: must always be
  that of the developer submitting the patch.
