Contributors who have an FSF Copyright Assignment don't need to

messages.
Developers with commit access may add their name to the DCO list in
the
MAINTAINERS file to certify the DCO for all future commits in lieu of
individual
Signed-off-by messages for each commit.
The GCC Steering Committee continues to affirm the principles of Free
Software, and that will never change.

The MAINTAINERS file doesn't seem to have such a "DCO list"
yet; does the following patch look like what you had in mind?
ChangeLog
* MAINTAINERS: Create DCO section; add myself to it.

There should be a verbatim copy of the DCO in this file or the repository.
It's on the website now, at gcc.gnu.org/dco.html , and I've added the
section to MAINTAINERS. It's not clear to me that it needs to be in the
source tree as well, since it's project contribution policy rather than
license.
