Point of order. Adding Signed-off-by is only appropriate if you have
actually "handled" a patch (ie. either applied it to your own git tree
or you are reposting it). If you're merely stating that you're okay
with the patch then "Acked-by" is what you should use.

Signed-off-by is more properly about asserting that you received the
patch under licensing terms compatible with the current. See
Developer's Certificate of Origin in Documentation/SubmittingPatches
for details.
