include the line in your commit or pull request comment::

Signed-off-by: Your Name <[email protected]>

...using your real name; unfortunately pseudonyms and anonymous contributions
can't be accepted. Git makes this trivial - just use the -s flag when you do
``git commit``, having first set ``user.name`` and ``user.email`` git configs
(which you should have done anyway :)

We accept contributions under a legally identifiable name, such as
your name on government documentation or common-law names (names
claimed by legitimate usage or repute). Unfortunately, we cannot
accept anonymous contributions at this time.

Git allows you to add this signoff automatically when using the ``-s``
flag to ``git commit``, which uses the name and email set in your
``user.name`` and ``user.email`` git configs.
