I think it's good to continue with the Signed-off-by tags. One slight
concerns I have is what Signed-off-by becomes a little vague with your
proposed change.

Previously it meant that the contribution aligned with the Tianocore
Contribution Agreement. Now, I think it *implicitly* means what the
"Developer Certificate of Origin" https://developercertificate.org/
says, but it's not made explicit.

I guess it might be fine to proceed with the implicit meaning for
Signed-off-by, and EDK II wouldn't be the first project to be in that
situation.

One possible advantage for considering this now is that I'm guessing
the change is being reviewed by various legal departments, and it
might be easier to handle this change at the same time.

One possible disadvantage is that it might make this change more
difficult to finish. :)
