we had discussed using Signed-off-by but I just forgot to implement it in this script.  I'll add it.
I don't recall that discussion; in case I haven't suggested it already, I suggest using the same convention that other GNU projects use:

* If "Co-authored-by: Joe User <user@example.com>" appears at the start of a log message line, that author is added to the ChangeLog entry.

* If "Signed-off-by: Joe User <user@example.com>" appears at the start of a log message line, that line is simply elided.

* If "Copyright-paperwork-exempt: Yes" appears at the start of a log message line, the "(tiny change)" notation is added.

See:

Oh cool, I'll follow this, thanks.
