So.. you do not want me to resolve merge conflicts or fuzz before posting ?

note: content did not change - only merged into my git tree and re-cut them.

ok - but I guess I had a different interpretation of the meaning for
signed-by. I thought it conveyed an ownership and originality of
authorship of the content posted. As such, if I didn't contribute
anything in the patch, I shouldn't give anything other than a
reviewed-by indicating approval.
