I'm wondering about change control of this document.  The GPL has a version 
number and references to use the version number.  The DCO seems to have a 
version number, but the DCO section in the MAINTAINERS file does not give it.  
I would think that a certification should call out which DCO it uses, whether 
in a one-off (in a patch) or in the MAINTAINERS DCO list.
