He doesn't seem to have given any S-o-b in the public thread. Signed-off-by means that you handled a patch. Presumably you are the maintainer and hopefully you looked at the patch before applying it. Signed-off-by is like signing a legal document to say that you didn't add any Top Secrety SCO UNIXWare source code. Reviewed-by means you reviewed it and approve. Acked-by means you approve the patch which sort of means you are the maintainer or you care about it for some reason, for example, maybe there was a debate and you like the chosen approach. regards, dan carpenter
