I'm not sure this would be much of a hassle. Yes, at first you are
going to have to send a lot of "great patch, please add a SOB line",
but I think developers are getting used to these.

I know developers who have a SOB automagically attached to every git
commit whether they need it or not. Coding standards tend to be much
more contentious than this ;)

I would at least try it for a bit. If people refuse to submit patches
because of the policy, rethink it then.
