The DCO yes.

It actually doesn't help. EU privacy law rather sensibly is "opt-in". Putting the statement in the DCO, which is a document and submission agreement works because you have to agree to it, putting it in a document is probably not "opt-in".
You have to -actively- agree to the DCO to submit a change, and that is what makes it work (whether you put something in submitting patches or not that is more explanatory).
