There is such rule: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.17/process/submitting-patches.html
chapter "Developer’s Certificate of Origin 1.1" says
then you just add a line saying: Signed-off-by: Random J Developer <random@developer.example.org> using your real name (sorry, no pseudonyms or anonymous contributions.)
And in general, Developer’s Certificate of Origin https://developercertificate.org/
says
By making a contribution to this project, I certify that: ... (d) I understand and agree that this project and the contribution are public and that a record of the contribution (including all personal information I submit with it, including my sign-off) is maintained indefinitely and may be redistributed consistent with this project or the open source license(s) involved.
