Yes, you must have a signed-off-by line for each person who handles the
patches (in this case just you, since you are also the author).
Linus (in theory) would not merge your tree if you asked him to if it
lacked signed-off-by lines (and I will have to drop it if they are not
added - this will mean rebasing your tree, of course).
