For Linux (the kernel), the meaning of the line is that the contributor certifies the DCO (Developer's Certificate of Origin) [1]. As we don't have a Gentoo DCO, it is not at all clear to me what the meaning of a Signed-off-by: line would be in the context of the gentoo tree. Even worse, I see commits having Signed-off-by: lines with obvious pseudonyms instead of a real name, which would be meaningless even if one would say that the Linux rules apply. (Also, we have the rule that real names must be provided for all developers, with no exceptions to be made for people doing copyrightable work [2].)
