This seems like a really good idea.  I'm in favor, but i have some concerns.

It somewhat raises the barrier-to-entry for casual contributors: they 
now have to know to use the -s flag to git commit.  I guess it's easy 
enough for the reviewers to inform them about it, or to add the SOB 
themselves, so not a huge deal.

How are long branches handled?  For example, only about half of the 
commits in joints_axes5 have SOB tags.  Would someone have to edit all 
the commits the next time the branch is rebased?  Or would it suffice to 
have a SOB tag on the merge commit?
