I'm not even sure that applies to this patch. If I were passing along a
verbatim copy of someone else's patch, or a copy with minor modifications,
then it definitely be appropriate and expected to pass along their
Signed-off-by:. But this patch is original work; it's not a verbatim copy
of any of the patches that I mention above (which are all publicly
available, incidentally).
