I finally went and improved my patch getting script to block any 
submissions for which git interpret-trailers shows no Sign-off-by lines.
That'll make it in practice impossible for me to apply such submissions 
anymore.

It's not entirely foolproof though as the Signed-off-by could still be 
invalid one e.g. by being different from From and I don't know easy way to 
extract From from a patch file (consider encodings and multiple From 
lines properly).
