This has been proposed several times. It may be interesting to look through the history of the list and examine why it hasn't been accepted as a feature. A few attempts are chronicled here: https://public-inbox.org/git/?q=commit.signoff

This is, however, achievable with a commit-msg hook or using "git interpret-trailers" if you are certain this is what you want to do.
