Merging this now is independent of signed keys, so there is no problem
in that.
But after that, if you are maintainer handling patches, then the repo
url would be useful here. It would be used for picking up patches,
because it's you who supposed to do that. SoC is not for patches from
contributors. In general SoC is only for other maintainers.
