Update the documentation to be explicit about the signed-off-by convention.
FWIW I'm against that convention, and would rather see it abandoned, than the project submitting to arbitrary and ridiculous requirements set by legal departments in US corporations. *shrug*
I understand. For better or for worse, it is the convention that SeaBIOS has been following and I think it makes sense to state it explicitly within the seabios git repo.
FWIW, I have found keeping names and contact info in the commits to be helpful. (Occasionally people have questions about using the code in other projects and I've seen it be useful when reaching out to past contributors.) I don't feel the 7 sentences in the developer-certificate-of-origin is a harsh burden.
