It seems to me a lot of extra complexity is introduced by the way they use “Signed-off-by” lines. They’re trying to use these to record who accepted the pull request into the mainline. Is this even necessary?

How do the Linux kernel folks handle this? (Obvious question I ask every time somebody claims to have a problem using Git.) It seems to me they don’t bother with this information, they only record the contributor of the patch, not who accepted it.
