A signoff with no documented meaning attached by the project is fairly weak, as you would have to argue there was some commonly accepted signifance to it across the community. A signoff which is explicitly associated with a statement of intent has benefit, hence why I also sent a patch to clarify that the signoff asserts compliance with the DCO. Adding these signoffs has little to no time burden on long term developers own work on a daily basis. Just needs adding -s to "git commit" which quickly becomes engrained in muscle memory such that you'll end up doing it for every project you find yourself contributing to. Many of our "drive by" contributors already do this as habit, we'll just need to remind those that forget periodically.
