Short: You add 'Signed-off-by: David Given <dg@cowlark.com>' to the
end of the patch description. Or if you forgot to do so, you can reply
to the email with this line and the maintainer will add it to the
patch description for you. This bascally means that you are OK with
your work being merget my other people, and also helps to track who
made which changes/bugs, statistics, etc, and some even see it as
having some legal power.
