It definitely makes sense to have this specifically as opt-in, since it is important for developers to be aware that they are adding a DCO to their commits. This is exactly what my patch suggestion proposes - let us not touch the defaults for signing off, but simply provide a `commit.signoff` config flag identical to the existing `format.signoff` flag that works with `git format-patch`. This would mean that only the developers who regularly signoff every commit can add this to their config, taking full responsibility for choosing to do so :) Cheers, Prajwal S N
