  21                                         <p>To improve tracking of who did what we've introduced a sign-off procedure on patches
  22                                         that are being emailed around. The sign-off is a simple line at the end of the explanation
  23                                         for the patch, which certifies that you wrote it or otherwise have the right to pass it on as
  24                                         open-source patch.</p>
