Al made a very important point somewhere earlier in this thread. The most important (from the code quality POV) thing is -- is there a person that understands the patch enough to be able to answer questions (coming from some other human -- most likely reviewer/maintainer)? That's not something that'd be reflected in DCO, but it's very important fact for the maintainer's decision process. -- Jiri Kosina SUSE Labs
