Wait, what? He doesn't seem to have given any S-o-b in the public
thread.

Signed-off-by means that you handled a patch. Presumably you are the
maintainer and hopefully you looked at the patch before applying it.
Signed-off-by is like signing a legal document to say that you didn't
add any Top Secrety SCO UNIXWare source code. Reviewed-by means you
reviewed it and approve. Acked-by means you approve the patch which
sort of means you are the maintainer or you care about it for some
reason, for example, maybe there was a debate and you like the chosen
approach.
