Does "Signed-off-by:" line mean something different for you than for other people these days?

I thought that the rule that applies to you (and only you) on this list was that all patches from you are DCO certified and I am free to forge your signature on them, and the other rule that applies to everybody including you is that Signed-off-by: is about DCO certification and not about anything else (e.g. author's confidence level about the patch).

I am asking because you did not have S-o-b and did not say anything about the other patch about commit object creation. Although both patches looked sane to me.
