That is *in addition* to Signed-off-by: which is just ignored?

I can still request the authors provide their same kernel-like
sign-off, like I provide my Reviewed-by: to track how many things
I've reviewed (which I think is also important for the community
to acknowledge).

I agree that in the fully-automated future I will need Co-authored-by:
syntax.
