I agree. The whole signed-off thing just sounded just-a-little-less-annoying than signing a CLA. And it misses covering non-PR contributions - we (committer) could do the signed-off as we apply the patch, but that defeats the whole intent.
So yes, I was glad that Richard saw this the same way. BTW.. can't remember if I mentioned it, but I also worked on README.md[1] and the ORM contributing website page[2]. For whatever reason the README.md is rendering goofy now - if anyone has ideas why, would love to hear how to fix it. It uses asciidoc(tor) syntax as part of a markdown file so not sure how GitHub ever rendered that properly before.
