While secure solutions are useful, I really wonder if "George Spelvin" is a real person. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Spelvin _If_ "George Spelvin" is a pseudonym, (apologies if it is not), should anything with that signature be added to the kernel? The Developer's Certificate of Origin says that no pseudonyms are allowed. --- Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ By making a contribution to this project, I certify that: (a) The contribution was created in whole or in part by me and I have the right to submit it under the open source license indicated in the file; or (b) The contribution is based upon previous work that, to the best of my knowledge, is covered under an appropriate open source license and I have the right under that license to submit that work with modifications, whether created in whole or in part by me, under the same open source license (unless I am permitted to submit under a different license), as indicated in the file; or (c) The contribution was provided directly to me by some other person who certified (a), (b) or (c) and I have not modified it. (d) I understand and agree that this project and the contribution are public and that a record of the contribution (including all personal information I submit with it, including my sign-off) is maintained indefinitely and may be redistributed consistent with this project or the open source license(s) involved. then you just add a line saying:: Signed-off-by: Random J Developer <ran...@developer.example.org> using your real name (sorry, no pseudonyms or anonymous contributions.) This will be done for you automatically if you use ``git commit -s``.
