OK how about the following:

---------------
The process for forwarding comments from others:

Generally, subscribing to the virtio comments mailing list
requires agreement to the OASIS feedback license, at
https://www.oasis-open.org/who/ipr/feedback_license.pdf

When forwarding (in modified or unmodified form) comments from others, please
make sure the commenter has read and agreed to the
feedback license. If this is the case, please include the following:

License-consent: commenter's name <commenter's email>

where commenter's name <commenter's email> is a valid
name-addr as specified in RFC 5322, see
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5322#section-3.4

If the comment is on behalf of an organization, please use the
organization's email address.

If forwarding a comment from a TC member, please instead get consent to
the full Virtio TC IPR, and then, as before, include

License-consent: commenter's name <commenter's email>

If you are reusing a comment that has already been posted to the
TC mailing list, the above tags are not required.

---------------

We could reuse Signed-off-by though I am a bit concerned whether
people will assume it's a DCO thing which everyone copies.
Thoughts?
