I think the last message from Christian in the thread points at the
right direction in the future.

The internal "parse the existing trailer block and manipulate it by
adding, conditionally adding, replacing and deleting it" logic was
done as an experimental "interpret-trailers" program, but polishing
it (both its design and implementation) and integrating it to the
front-line programs (e.g. "git commit") hasn't been done.

As to the last step of "integration", we cannot use short-and-sweet
single letter options like '-s' (for sign-off) for each and every
custom trailer different projects use for their own purpose (as
there are only 26 of the lowercase ASCII alphabet letters), so the
most general syntax for the option has to become "--trailer <arg>"
or some variation of it, and at that point "-s" would look like a
short-hand for "--trailer signed-off-by".
