I don't think a newbie author would like to see a strange
commit message under his name without warning (tho
I'm guessing: noone has complained).

Got it.  No Signed-off-by. But just so I understand, you're "borderline"
on Co-authored-by if that is motivated by the commit message
text. You're _not_ opposed to it if I add a comment to code, or
change some detail, right? Because I'll do that sometimes,
too.  Though only for larger changes, and from those authors
I request copyright assignments.

Thanks,
