Sure.  Thanks for these examples.  I was aware that people do
strange things with the footer, but with the first example of [akpm]
comment at the very beginning alone, I wouldn't have guessed why
intermixing one-liner comments directly in the chain of
Signed-of-by: lines made any sense.  Call it lack of imagination,
but each sign-off optionally prefixed by a single-liner summary of
what change was done makes sense why people do want to use these
lines that way.
