Not really. Sign-off is generally used for legal reasons [1], so that the
submitter of a patch certifies that it can be safely included in the
project [2] without violating any licences. Generally, the projects that
use Signed-off-by require it to be added to all submitted patches and then
the number of sign-offs and similar lines (e.g. Reviewed-by) grows as the
patch is makes its way to the main repository.
