Argh, my bad. This is fallout from moving to the co-maintainer model.
My scripts assume they don't need to append a SoB because that was
handled when applying the patch to the git tree.

But that obviously doesn't hold if Ard applies the patch to git, but I
mail out the patches as part of the pull request (or vice versa).

I guess in future you'd wanna see the SoB of the person mailing the
patches, right?

Thanks.
