In our group meeting we decided to keep using the Signed-off-by field, as it's more convenient for us. This has been clarified in our wiki page on the workflow section: https://wiki.mpich.org/mpich/index.php/Git#Overall_Workflow Thank you for bringing our attention to this.

Essentially, it�s what we define it to be. I guess we could have used �Reviewed-by�, but I�m not sure it really matters that much. FWIW, I think it's a needless deviation from a widespread convention. I�ll bring this up at the next group meeting and see what the other developers think.
