Sign-off in Linux kernel project is to certify that you have the
right to contribute the change to the project under Developers
certificate of origin.  I believe in thier project, the document
in Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst describes the
process (look for "Sign your work")

The "commit -s" signing has nothing to do with it.  It may prove it
was written by the key holder, but it does not prevent the key
holder to steal intellectual property from their employer and
contribute it as if it is their own, and Sign-off exists as a
separate procedure to have you raise your right hand and swear that
your contribution is kosher wrt DCO.
