No, not at all - the signoff has specific meaning with regard to the
developer certificate of origin [1] - whoever applies the commit needs
to supply a signoff to say that they're asserting that the DCO is being
followed.  This is separate to review (though if a maintainer is
applying a patch that's generally at least as good as an ack so no need
for anything else).
