As I recall, one thing that bothered you about Signed-off-by in Mesa
is that it wasn't documented what it meant when it was used.

Perhaps there are developers that don't want to use Signed-off-by with
an undocumented meaning for Mesa. If that is the case, then this might
help. I wasn't sure if you fell into that category.

I use -s whenever I commit, so requiring it would not bother me. But,
I notice that many people (such as yourself) do not, so I didn't see
the need to push for that.

If it's well documented, and becomes commonly used, then perhaps
requiring it might be a reasonable thing to consider. I won't be
holding my breath while waiting on that. :)
