This should have Arnd's Signed-off-by: as well.

I'm just interested to know, why?

So that Arnd certifies that

         (a) The contribution was created in whole or in part by me and I
             have the right to submit it under the open source license
             indicated in the file; or

and all the other stuff in Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst
section 11!

Also, because section 12 says so :)  And that final sentence is, I
believe, appropriate.

Ah, interesting. I see that the documentation was updated since I was told last year in the same situation by a different maintainer that co-authors should not have SOB lines on the patch.

Good to know.  Thanks for illuminating me.
