By tuning this per-project I know that a "git email" will generate the correct sort of patch for this project.

The thing that's missing is a config option to make git-commit add the signoff automatically. I think this would be useful, as "signing off" is probably a per-project decision rather than a per-commit decision. It seems awkward to require the user to remember what the project policy is and always get the right git-commit for each project.
