It's possible (read:  likely) that others have different ideas about it,
but personally I like to see a sign-off from the person providing the
patch, even if it's a simple back-port or a refresh caused by a
cherry-pick.  I don't read anything into "signed-off-by" except that
it's a statement like "I know where this code came from and I am
confident you can have it".
