Sign-off is not about credit, but is about making sure we know the provenance of the contribution we would use in our codebase, so it would be nice to have, but lifting code from another project (i.e. TRast's tbdiff) that is appropriately licensed (GPLv2) verbatim is something you can do with your own sign-off, without the original author's sign-off, so I think what we have is good.
