How wonderful!  Problem solved.  Now I think that just having an example could kill the misconception forever ;)

GPG signing is not needed.  All you need is "git commit -s".

Adding "Signed-off-by: Chad Joan <address@hidden>" basically is a
way to tell us "I understand I'm contributing this under the GNU GPL or
a compatible license".  It's not a cryptographic signature.
