There is a corner case that isn't currently handled (because it isn't
common).

Developer A authors a change.  Signed-off-by is needed.  Sends to
Developer B

Developer B takes that change, with no intervention.  Developer B needs
to sign off as part of the delivery change, but must not add a
Co-authored-by (since no code was authored by Developer B).

checkpatch blows up in this case.  But it isn't common, and I wouldn't
see it as a "gate" (if it makes sense).

Correct - it won't flag you because it allows for one extra
signed-off-by tag.

Just a difficult to handle corner case.
