It depends on how you define "the Kernel project", I suppose. E2fsprogs is built on a wide variety of platforms, including the GNU Hurd, FreeBSD, Solaris, and others. So is it part of the "[Linux] Kernel project"?

I suppose util-linux-ng might be a closer call (it also uses the DCO convention) as it is pretty well Linux-specific. The developer community of util-linux-ng is primarily not composed of kernel developers, however, although there is some overlap.

BTW, some of the X.org git repositories also seem to be using DCO, although its usage seems to be a bit spotty.
