Whenever you pull in someone's changes through the Fork Queue, it will add a SOB line for the person pulling in the changes. In this case it appears to be an "I approve these incoming changes", instead of the DCO. I honestly couldn't say how common it is for projects that aren't on GitHub to use the SOB in this manner, however.
