I just did a really quick check and we have just one patch in weston
with a S-o-b under a pseudonym, so even when it's been present we
haven't necessarily checked it for validity. :)

I've seen it asked for in patch review before, so I thought it was
already a hard requirement.

When I started contributing someone told me I had to S-o-b all my
patches, but I can't remember who it was.

If we don't strictly require it, I'd love to land 61060 before it bit
rots all to pieces again. :)

Right...

Even then, without GPG signing everything, how do we know a
contributor is who they claim to be and that the S-o-b is meaningful
anyway?

That said, I'd love to have absolutely nothing to do with this policy
decision, and will happily enforce whatever requirements others decide o
n.

I just hope they don't make contributing any harder than it already is.
:)
