Grabbing somebody else's signed-off patch, and forwarding it (with
or without tweaks and enhancements) with your own sign-off would be
a sufficient sign that you've inspected the patch deeply enough to
be confident that it is worth forwarding.  So I think you can even
lose the reviewed-by.

But as long as you are relaying somebody else's patch, DCO asks you
to sign it off yourself.

Thanks.
