That's not a problem at all.

We don't require signed-off by for the notmuch project. Instead, people
should be adding Copyright attributions to any files that they change in
non-trivial ways.

And we should fix the notmuchmail.org web page to not point to the git
project's patch submission guidelines. Worse than the incorrect
information about Signed-off-by, those guidelines are *ridiculously*
*long*. We should instead have a very short list of the simplest, good
procedure for a new git user to follow.

As is, I wouldn't be surprised if potential contributors were scared
away by the length of the instructions.
