Documentation/SubmittingPatches#sign-off

    === Certify your work by adding your `Signed-off-by` trailer

    To improve tracking of who did what, we ask you to certify that you
    wrote the patch or have the right to pass it on under the same license
    as ours, by "signing off" your patch.  Without sign-off, we cannot
    accept your patches.

    If you can certify the below D-C-O:

    [[dco]]
    .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.
    ____

    you add a "Signed-off-by" trailer to your commit, that looks like
    this:

    ....
            Signed-off-by: Random J Developer <random@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
    ....


So, you'd add your own signed-off-by trailer at the end of the
trailer list.

https://lore.kernel.org/git/pull.805.git.1607091741254.gitgitgadget@xxxxxxxxx/

for an example where Johannes Schindelin picked up a patch written
by Dennis Ameling and relayed it to the list.

Thanks.
