MicroPython doesn't require explicit sign-off for patches ("Signed-off-by"
30+
lines and similar). Instead, the commit message, and your name and email
31+
address on it construes your sign-off of the following:
32+
33+
* That you wrote the change yourself, or took it from a project with
34+
a compatible license (in the latter case the commit message, and possibly
35+
source code should provide reference where the implementation was taken
36+
from and give credit to the original author, as required by the license).
37+
* That you are allowed to release these changes to an open-source project
38+
(for example, changes done during paid work for a third party may require
39+
explicit approval from that third party).
40+
* That you (or your employer) agree to release the changes under
41+
MicroPython's license, which is the MIT license. Note that you retain
42+
copyright for your changes (for smaller changes, the commit message
43+
conveys your copyright; if you make significant changes to a particular
44+
source module, you're welcome to add your name to the file header).
45+
* Your signature for all of the above, which is the 'Author' line in
46+
the commit message, and which should include your full real name and
47+
a valid and active email address by which you can be contacted in the
48+
foreseeable future.
