I think GNU (or someone) encourages this format:

2006-03-09  Crazy Hacker  <cr...@h4...>

     Reviewed by: Johan Dahlin <jo...@gn...>

if you use the prepare-ChangeLog.pl script it'll add that for you.

That format is fine too I hope. But I guess the reviewer should
get credit for this aswell so maybe you have to update your scripts if it
doesn't handle that case.
