I will not claim the kernel practice to be 100% consistent, but yes.
git am --signoff, git pull/merge and no -s in merge commits seems to
be the practice.  Perhaps we should stop saying we follow the kernel
process, link to it as useful background, but then document what we
actually want / do which is only require new S-O-B on code
modification, and allow custodians to add their own they want for
tracking or otherwise ease of not having to remember a different
workflow for kernel vs U-Boot?
