FWIW, a way I've seen that handled in gcc/ChangeLog is something like 
the following:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
2006-11-11  Tobias Burnus <email@example.com>

	Backport from mainline:
	2006-10-??  Francois-Xavier Coudert  <coudert@clipper.ens.fr>

	PR fortran/29713
	* expr.c (gfc_simplify_expr): Correct memory allocation.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Seems to me like a fairly clear way of apportioning blame and credit 
appropriately, though I haven't seen it used that often.  (I've also 
seen just the "Backport from mainline:" line used, in cases where 
someone was backporting their own patch.)  I think it's a form that's 
worth encouraging.
