No problem.

Heh. Believe it or not, that actually did occur to me. However, I'm not
really sure what it means to do that. As you have made clear in the
past, the signoff is _not_ "this looks good to me, please apply" but
rather "I am signing the Certificate of Origin."

And while I can only assume that everything in such an obvious patch is
kosher, it is _not_ true that:

  - I created or have the right to submit it under an open source
    license (DCO, part a)
  - The contribution was provided to me by somebody else who certified
    the above (DCO, part c)

I'm not clear on what part (b) of the DCO means. Is it making a
judgement that says "even though I have no license on this, it is
clearly a derivative work of git, which is GPL'd, and therefore it is
GPL'd"?
