What is this second author and how would its presence in the author
list interact with your DCO obligation?

How did you make sure that whatever is in this patch were not copied
by the "agent" from somewhere that we cannot copy the code from
before deciding to send this patch?  The "cannot copy from" may come
in different shapes, from "their code is proprietary" to "their
licensing terms are not compatible with GPLv2" to "they welcome us
borrowing but we must give credit to them", any of which we should
be careful to avoid.
