I'm still unclear about that Signed-of-by concern.
Re-send patches with Signed-of-by added to the commit message. Git can do that automatically for you (-s switch for "git commit"). It's used to keep track of the patch workflow (who wrote the patch, who reviewed & committed, ...).
I would have expected that the "who wrote" is obvious from the Author: line in the commit, "who reviewed" by something like "Reviewed-by:" and the committer from the Committer line.
For the projects I usually interact with Signed-off-by has a juristic meaning, see my mail from Monday.
If the Signed-off-by here really only has the purpose to show through which hands the patch went in, I can resend of course.
Best regards Uwe
