Sign Offs/Custody of Contributions

The Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO) is a way for contributors to certify that they wrote or otherwise have the right to license their code contributions to the project. The full text of the DCO can be found here or in DCO.txt. Contributors must sign-off that they adhere to these requirements by adding a Signed-off-by line to their commit message, and/or, for frequent contributors, by signing off on their entry in MAINTAINERS.md.

This process is followed by a number of open source projects, most notably the Linux kernel. Here's the gist of it:

[Your normal Git commit message here.]

Signed-off-by: Random J Developer <random@developer.example.org>

git help commit has more info on adding this:

-s, --signoff
    Add Signed-off-by line by the committer at the end of the commit log
    message. The meaning of a signoff depends on the project, but it typically
    certifies that committer has the rights to submit this work under the same
    license and agrees to a Developer Certificate of Origin (see
    http://developercertificate.org/ for more information).
