It is mentioned in http://git.gnome.org/cgit/glib/tree/README.commits http://git.gnome.org/cgit/gtk+/tree/README.commits that a sign-off should be added when committing. I do not see a specific need apart from the possibility of being a general policy for git.gnome.org commits. I would consider against requiring a signoff, at least for now, for usability reasons. It requires to manually add '--signoff' at each commit command which is cumbersome. There has been talk for a 'commit.signoff' option to git that would automatically add signoffs while committing. However, it is not available yet in git, http://marc.info/?l=git&m=123054942832644&w=2 If there was a commit.signoff option, then we would be able to activate once only, and have signoffs automatically added.
