This is the second time this has happened in as many weeks, by different
people Obviously, I can spell my own name, know my own email address,
and did not sign off on this patch.
If Signed-off lines have a purpose, that is destroyed by fake ones.
Worse, a future lawyer can now convincingly argue that many
correctly-spelled Signed-off lines are worthless fakes, too.
A few well-placed private slaps on wrists can probably prevent this
becoming common practice.
Rusty.
PS. Of course, it's only the dumb ones being caught at the moment.
