There are unbound number of kinds of trailers people would want to add, depending on their projects' needs. We should not have to add a specific support for a tailer like this one, before thinking through to see if we can add generic support for adding arbitrary trailers to avoid code and interface bloat.

Think of the existing --signoff as a historical mistake. Such a generic "adding arbitrary trailers" support, when done properly, should be able to express what "--signoff" does, and we should be able to redo "--signoff" as a special case of that generic "adding arbitrary trailers" support, and at that point, "Fixes:" trailer the kernel project wants to use should fall out as a natural consequence.
