I also think that DRI-devel mailing list follow the kernel rule. I used
s-o-b here by the meaning of (a) below (this text is excerpted from the
link you sent)

12) Sign your work

To improve tracking of who did what, especially with patches that can
percolate to their final resting place in the kernel through several
layers of maintainers, we've introduced a "sign-off" procedure on
patches that are being emailed around.

The sign-off is a simple line at the end of the explanation for the
patch, which certifies that you wrote it or otherwise have the right to
pass it on as an open-source patch.  The rules are pretty simple: if you
can certify the below:

        Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1

        By making a contribution to this project, I certify that:

        (a) The contribution was created in whole or in part by me and I
            have the right to submit it under the open source license
            indicated in the file; or

Was it wrong to add s-o-b here? Should I have used "Reviewed-by" here?
I am sorry, if I broke the rule and confused you.
