I am aware of what DCO and sign-offs are for and that is why I asked the questions I did of _you_.

Formulating project requirements for the work of contributors is welcome. I would be happy to review any thing related to this. And I would prefer that is not linked to sign-off, I see that as an implementation detail. Our GitLab sign up declaration should reference such a document.

I agree knowing the legal status of contributors is not realistic so what guards or guides do you see are sufficient with the sign-off process? At the moment we required you have a valid GitLab account and a working email address. CI can check for a sign-on field but what about the content of that field? And what if it conflicts with the GitLab login? Which is valid?
