We can not allow anonymous contributions to the kernel

The DCO does not mean anything if we allow anonymous contributors to the
kernel.  As this is an open source project, we need to do everything in the
open.

possibly get archived and re-distributed.

Start documenting the sign-off procedure in SubmittingPatches

We already have over 200 sign-off lines in the kernel, so
let's document the thing, even if discussion may still be
on-going.
